I would like to clarify my earlier post by stating that I did not intend to insult anyone’s intelligence. However, I am a twenty five year veteran firefighter and assistant fire marshal and have unfortunately seen careless mistakes made by people over the years. I was simply offering a tip to people to treat the dried grass and thatch on their tike bars so that they do not ignite. I have frequently visited this website and even built my tiki bar and treated it with a spray on fire retardant. Again folks, please understand how important this is especially if you have an interior tiki bar. What prompted me to write was a house fire I went to last week that was caused by a candle that ignited the dry grass. Preventable! Monkeyman, you joined three months ago. 94 posts. Sounds like you need a girl monkey around the tiki bar!!!
