How to Safely Enjoy an Outdoor Fire This Fall Season

It's no fun lighting the outdoor fire pit in the middle of the summer in New Jersey. The air is already too thick from the humidity. But when fall rolls around, it's a different story. Let's take a look at some important safety tips for enjoying an outdoor fire this fall season.
