A fire extinguisher or charged garden hose should be handy while the fire is burning. Check the pit frequently to ensure that it is okay.

PEOPLE PROTECTING OUR PARKSNew Fire Safety Campaign for City of Houston Parks

People Protecting Our Parks calls on all Houstonians to proactively protect the City's parklands during the ongoing drought. The campaign has two main goals: fire prevention education and the protection of public parklands. The first step in this campaign is the issuance of a temporary ban on all barbeque pits in City of Houston Parks. The temporary ban on barbeque pits will remain in effect until further notice. Signage notifying the public about the ban will be placed in the parks. To allow for a period of public education, warnings will be issued to violators until City Council adopts a permanent enforcement mechanism next week.Houston Fire Department recommends the following safety tips during this drought:

BARBEQUE SAFETY• Portablebarbecuepits,charcoalgrillsand

other open-flame cooking devices outside of a building should not be operated on combustible balconies or located within 10 feet of combustible walls or roofs or other combustible materials.

• Whenignitingthebarbecuecharcoal,usea charcoal lighter, not gasoline. Gasoline can flash violently in and around the pit causing serious injuries to anyone in the

area of the flash. A fire extinguisher or charged garden hose should be handy while the fire is burning. Check the pit frequently to ensure that it is okay.

• Hotashandcoalsfrombarbecuepitsandcharcoal burners should be placed in a non-combustible container until cooled or thoroughly saturated with water, before being disposed.

OPEN FLAMES• TheCityofHoustonFireCodeprohibits

all open-burning within the Houston city limits at all times. The burn ban in unincorporated areas of Harris County also prohibits any outdoor open-burning, including the burning of: a bonfire, rubbish fire, campfire, trench fire, or other fire in an outdoor location when not contained.

VEHICLES, TRAILERS AND TOOLS• Parkvehiclessothattheexhaustsystem

• Adjust the safety chains on trailers toensure they don't drag and create sparks that can cause roadside starts.

• Keep lawn mowers and agriculturalequipment in proper working condition

and avoid rocks and other materials which might cause a spark.

orbes recently released its latest ranking of U.S. cities best positioned to grow and prosper in the coming decade, and Houston came in No. 5. The survey considered 52 of the

nation’s largest metro areas (those with populations of more than 1 million) and ranked them on the basis of data indicating past, present and future vitality. One-third of the score consisted of job growth; the remainder consisted of demographic factors, including family formation. Here’s what Forbes likes about the Bayou City:

• Low housing prices • Stable job market • Vibrant immigrant community • Burgeoning port • Dominance of the world energy business

These factors prompted Forbes to label Houston a “future boom town ... destined to become even more influential in the coming decade.” Please read the complete article at http://blogs.forbes.com/joelkotkin/2011/07/06/the-next-big-boom-towns-in-the-u-s/.
