Wheelie Bin Fire Safety

Wheelie bin fires can prove to be devastating and cause a lot of damage. Homes or office premises can get burned, and such fires can also result in casualties and/or fatalities. And, if your wheelie bin catches fire, you will be penalised by your council. In addition, there is also the expense of replacing the bins. Arson and accidental fires are the main cause for wheelie bin fires.

Here are some wheelie bin fire safety tips that will go a long way in preventing property loss and damage and reduce risk to human life.

•             Never store your wheelie bins close to your windows or doors. If the bin catches fire, it can easily spread to your home or office.

•             Wheelie bins should never be kept close to a building for the same reason mentioned above.

•             Ensure the wheelie bin is not overfilled with refuse and garbage, as any loose rubbish is inflammable and can easily catch fire and set the bin on fire, too.

•             As far as possible, store your wheelie bins behind locked gates to prevent strangers from getting access to them.

•             Store your wheelie bins in such a manner so that they don’t block escape routes and access.

Arson is a major problem, and wheelie bins that are not stored properly and securely can be easy targets.
