Sparks from tow chains can ignite dry grass on the roadside without you even knowing. Before you hit the road, ensure all parts of your vehicle, from mufflers to chains, are secure and not dragging.

Heat from your exhaust can smolder dry grass underneath, and with one good wind a new fire can start. Be safe this summer by not parking or driving on dry grass and brush.
