-
- Make
sure your yard is clear of such things as ladders, hoses, dog

will be walking or standing.

sure paper or cloth yard decorations won't be blown into a flaming
candle.

of cereal, packaged fruit rolls, mini boxes of raisins and single-serve
packets of low-fat popcorn that can be microwaved later.
