look up Make sure there are no structures or tree branches hanging over or near the fire within 15 feet.

6 fire safety & precautions

Distance rocks should be around the campfire, creating a circle barrier.

fire safety & precautions how to build a fire • Use ready-made fireplace or fire circle.

• Make sure fire circles are a safe distance from tents and buildings.

• Tie back long hair, roll up loose sleeves, and don't wear frilly outfits or plastic clothing like raincoats. Please wear closed toe shoes.

• An adult must be present when a fire is lit.

• Clear the ground of leaves, grass, sticks, and leaf mold. Build the fire on solid dirt.

• Always have a large bucket of water, sand or dirt, and a shovel nearby, ready to put out the fire before you light the first match.

• Place the woodpile far enough away from the fire, on the side away from the wind, so sparks cannot fly into it.

tending a fire • Build the fire gradually.

• When burning paper, bundle it into balls to prevent them from blowing away when lighted.

• Don't play with fire. Once a stick is placed in the fire it should stay there to burn.

• Use a ready-made fire circle.

• Make sure someone is responsible for the fire and is watching it at all times.

• Keep plastic away from the fire. They can melt or burst into flames.

• If grease catches fire, smother with sand and cover with a lid or remove from fire. Water only makes a grease fire worse, use a fire extinguisher.

• If a fire starts to spread, immediately inform supervisors for help.

extinguishing a fire • Put the fire out immediately after you are done.

• Let the fire die down as much as possible before extinguishing.

• Scatter coals, break up big pieces and knock logs apart.

• Stir coals and sprinkle with water, stir again. Repeat this step until no live coals remain.

• Do not pour water onto the fire, only sprinkle the water!

• If you must remove hot ashes from a fire site, wet them down first and deposit them in a fireproof container.

• End of the week, scoop ashes out and dispose of them in the woods. fire safety & precautions 7
