Summertime Camp Fire Safety

7/1/2019 (Permalink)

Summertime is a time to enjoy the outdoors and the sun. Camp fires and s'mores are a summertime favorite. If you are going camping this summer or plan on enjoying some laughs around a fire, keep these campfire safety tips in mind. 

First....

Make sure you are familiar with your campground or event area to ensure that you are allowed to build a campfire. You can also see if the area already has fire pits or fire rings for you to use. 

Secondly....

Do NOT build a campfire in dry conditions.

If a fire pit/ring doesn't already exist (but you are allowed to build a campfire), you will then need to choose a site that is at least 15 feet from tent walls and surrounding plant life (like shrubs or trees). Also keep in mind staying away from "fuel" sources such as logs, decaying leaves or brush. 

Lastly....

Don't forget to keep in mind the direction of the wind to make sure that you keep yourself and the campsite safe.

Have a Happy and safe summer!
