Every spring, people spruce up their properties with fresh mulch and firefighters respond to many fires started by cigarettes tossed into mulch. Mulch is combustible and can easily catch fire, Ostroskey said. We are asking smokers to dispose of their smoking materials responsibly in order to prevent fires. Don t toss cigarette butts into mulch or a pile of dried leaves.
Provide Proper Smoking Receptacles Businesses and homeowners that are sprucing up their landscaping should also provide and maintain safe receptacles for disposing of smoking materials so that people won t start fires by tossing cigarettes into the mulch, said Ostroskey. Metal containers with sand are best.

The dining room was spruced up. Elegant Bentwood chairs with cane seats, hand-me-downs from the Pridwin, had been freshly re-caned.
“Guests started to fall through them,” Linda Eklund remembered. “When the first chair went, I was horrified. On the second, I started to wonder.”
