Safety
Upon your arrival at Casa Pacis, please find and read a
one-page information sheet entitled "EMERGENCY: Who do you call?"
Then familiarize yourself with the location of
the fire extinguishers.
One is located in the family room to the right of the fireplace,
an other one in a closet in the master bedroom.
Please help us maintain utmost fire safety.
The house is located in an area that is, during the summer and
fall season, considered "high fire danger."
Specifically:
--- use the gas grill or Weber only on the gravel surface of the
driveway, not on a wooden deck;
--- assure that the grease catcher is in place under the gas
grill;
--- no bonfires on the beach!
--- during
Red Flag Warning periods use of the fireplace is
prohibited.
--- burn only those fuels in the fireplace that do not
generate excess amounts of glowing embers, i.e. only firewood, NO
PAPER, NO PINE NEEDLES, NO CHRISTMAS TREES.
--- start a fire in the fireplace only with dry wood kindling or
Duraflame Firestarters (or equiv.), NOT with NEWSPAPER
or alike.
--- keep the metal screen of the fireplace closed at all times
when a fire is burning;
--- keep the heat of the fire low -- not too many logs at
any one time, please! Be
considerate!
--- keep the glass doors at least partially closed at all times,
so no embers (and no smoke) will escape into the room and burn
holes in the carpet;
--- keep a fire in the fireplace under CONSTANT
SUPERVISION;
--- keep children near the fireplace under supervision;--- do not
dispose hot ashes anywhere; leave this to our
housekeepers to take care of;
Please assure that children are under constant
supervision when in the hot tub.
Please mind the hot cooking surface of the kitchen
range -- very dangerous for children!
Keep the cooktop clear of burnables, such as dishtowels.
Do not leave the house while something is
cooking on the range or in the oven.
Due to the related extreme fire danger,
we do not
permit the use of any candles at Casa Pacis
(tea lights in metal containers are OK) -- no exceptions, please!
