I’m Hosting a Bonfire…Now What?
Happy first day of summer! I don’t know about you, but when I think of summer I think of warm weather days filled with sunshine, water, and cookouts. It is the clear choice for my favorite season, no matter how humid it may get in New England. Unfortunately, all the time spent by the water and cooking on the grill can also mean summer is a popular time for accidents. Whether you are hosting a BBQ, pool party, or bonfire, it’s important to make sure you’re prepared for those summer accidents.
As your insurance agent, we want you to enjoy all of the good things about summer and eliminate some of the worry that can come. When it comes to pool safety, we have talked about the need to tell your agent about a pool if you have one and the importance of making sure you have the coverage you need
for it. What about if you’re hosting a bonfire? A swift breeze in the wrong direction and unfortunately the open flame of a bonfire can be touching your home or auto (depending on the location of your bonfire). I’m sure you have a lot of planning and prepping for your bonfire, but you may want to add talking to your insurance agent to the list.
Any sort of fire in the home or on your property can very quickly become a big problem. It’s important to make sure you are putting safety first whenever dealing with fire, whether it is a grill for that summer cookout or an open flame for a summer-night bonfire. After that, make sure you have the homeowners insurance coverage you need. If you find you may want more liability, call our agents and ask about an Umbrella Insurance policy! Having an extra umbrella of liability over your head is great all year round, especially to cover you against those summer accidents. Most people are surprised by just how affordable an umbrella insurance policy can be. Who knew extra liability coverage was so affordable?
