Extinguishing Fires
Waiting It Out — Allowing the Fire
to Extinguish Naturally
The safest and preferred method for extinguishing
a fire is to wait it out and allow the fire to burn
out naturally. This method takes the longest but
results in the least smoke, least mess, and the best
experience. Never leave the Fire Pit unattended to
ensure that the fire goes out completely.
In Case of Emergency
If you need to extinguish the fire due to an
emergency, you can use a garden hose and water:
□ Stand back at least 5 ft. while spraying to avoid
the hot steam and debris.
□ Spray the coals and inside the Fire Pit
continuously for 5 minutes or until there is no
visible flames and steam has dissipated.
□ Using your fire poker (sold separately), stir
remaining contents to ensure no hot coals or
flames remain. Spray an additional 5 minutes if
flames persist.
NOTE: If no garden hose is available,
you can pour water over the Fire Pit.
Use caution as this generates a significant
amount of steam and smoke.
You can also use sand or a dry chemical extinguisher
that is specified for wood fire applications.
Disposing of Ash and Debris
Wait at least 12 hours for the Fire Pit to cool and
then empty the ash and debris. Wood ash mixed
with water creates a basic (alkaline) solution which
can affect finishes and stainless steel.
Always use metal containers for ash disposal as
stated in the Safety Information section. Never leave
the ash container on a combustible surface.
DO NOT use ash in a garden or landscape
application unless you review local laws and
ordinances. Lamplight Farms Inc. has not evaluated
ash applications on gardens or landscapes and
cannot advise on proper application.
