According to the national fire incident reporting system, a majority of residential fires and fire-related injuries results from improperly stored flammables such as gasoline. Frequently, it’s the vapors and not the liquid that lead to a disastrous fire or explosion. Children are especially vulnerable due to their lack of understanding of the hazards of flammables. Gasoline, for example, is a motor fuel -- not a cleaning product. Flammables should not be stored near an ignition source such as a water heater, stove or furnace. Store flammables on a high shelf out of the reach of little ones and in a detached garage or shed, if possible. Use only ul-approved containers for gasoline storage. Never store gasoline in a plastic water jug.
