  • How can we be safer around campfires?
  • Make sure the fire is in a dirt pit, surrounded
    by rocks or in other designated areas
  • Make sure it is clear of leaves and trash that
    can burn and spread the fire
  • Never use gasoline or kerosene to start or
    rekindle the fire

  • How can we be safer around campfires?
  • Make sure the campfire is away from your tent or
    sleeping area
  • Only adults should start campfires
  • When you are done with your campfire, extinguish
    it by covering it with water, stir it, then put
    more water on it

  • When cooking over an open fire
  • Only adults should cook over an open fire
  • Do not wear loose-fitting clothing that can
    accidentally touch the fire and ignite.
  • Make sure your sleeves are rolled up and your
    shirts are tucked in
  • Use long handled utensils or sticks when roasting
    hotdogs or marshmallows - only under adult
    supervision
  • Dont throw anything in the fire - dont poke it
    with sticks

  • When you go camping -
  • Make sure your tents and sleeping bags are made
    of flame retardant material. Look for the flame
    retardant tag on these items.
  • Never use candles or any other open flames,
    including camp stoves, in or around tents.
  • Use battery operated flashlights or lanterns in
    and around your tents.
  • Place your tent upwind and a safe distance from
    open fires
