Remove combustibles, including firewood, yard waste, barbecue grills, and fuel cans, from your yard. Close all windows, vents, and doors to prevent a draft. Shut off natural gas, propane, or fuel oil supplies. Fill any large vessels-pools, hot tubs, garbage cans, or tubs-with water to slow or discourage fire.
