Basic Fire Safety on the Roof Deck for the Fire Pit

When using a roof deck fire pit, there should not be an overhanging awning or balcony covering installed right above the roof deck fire pit. Additionally, the roof deck fire pit should not be turned on in a gazebo or enclosed space. No flammable materials should be near to the fire pit. This includes decorative pillows, curtains or other flammable objects. The person or parties using the roof deck fire pit should not add flammable liquids to further ignite the fire, once it is lit.

There should also be no overload of wood put onto a wood fire pit, which would cause the wood to fall out of the fire pit area. Only seasoned firewood should be used, if real firewood is to be burned in the fire pit, to prevent the smoldering of wood in that area. If the fire pit is one that uses gas to ignite a flame, no other fire producing agents should be put into the fire pit at any time.
