Campfires are the cause of numerous forest fires every year. Follow these steps to fully and safely enjoy your fire.
- PERPARE an open area on mineral soil, away from any combustible material (leaves, grass and so on).
- BUILD a fire no larger than 1 metre by 1 metre in size.
- KEEP AN EYE on the fire and have water at hand at all times.
- PUT OUT the fire by dousing the site thoroughly and stirring the embers.
- ENSURE that embers are cold to the touch.
