Firepit Guidelines


The Gallery Fire Pit Rules and Regulations

 


You are using the fire pit entirely at your own risk.  Bennett Village and The Gallery are released from all liability when residents are using the fire pit.


 

Prior to having a fire:


·      You must be listed on the Permit to Conduct Open Air Burning to have a fire and you must remain present for the duration of the fire.

 

·      You must first check on the Halton Hills website to ensure there is no fire ban in place. Website is http://www.haltonhills.ca/fire/index.php


·      Check for wind – if the wind is blowing towards the building, you cannot have a fire.  The flag is a good indicator for the wind direction.


·      Make sure the hose is in place.  The valve will need to be opened if the hose is required.  The hose does not need to be rolled out.  There is no hose in the wintertime, so it is necessary to have water jugs filled with water and ready to use.


·      Make sure the fire extinguisher near the BBQ is in place and charged.

 

Having a fire:


·      Use fire safety gloves.


·      Move the fire pit out in the open.  The fire pit cannot be under the trellis.


·      The Axe is available upon request – see Ron Javorsky.


·      Use the chopping block for chopping wood.


·      Use a moderate amount of wood.


·      There are tools hanging for moving the burning wood around.


·      Use the water, fire extinguisher, and hose if the fire gets out of control.

 

After you have a fire:


·      Use fire safety gloves and carefully move the fire pit just inside the pavilion out of the sight of passersby. 


·      The morning after your fire, ensure the fire pit has cooled down completely.


·      Remove the lid and remove the ashes, make sure the ashes/coals are cold before placing in a plastic bag for disposal and putting in the garbage room.


·      Put the lid on the fire pit and put the cover on the fire pit.


·      Move the fire pit in the corner of the pavilion (right side of the BBQ near the bar).


·      Sweep up around the fire pit burning area.

 

NOTE:  The wood to be used when having a fire is found under the green tarp.  This wood was donated by all Residents for communal bonfires.  If you desire to have a private bonfire, you must provide your own wood for burning.
