Tips for having a safe campfire
- Build your fire on a rock surface or bare dirt
- Build your fire at least 3 meters away from logs, stumps, trees and overhanging branches
- Build your fire 15 meters away from buildings or tents
2. Prepare the Site
- Clear a space approximately 2 meters wide
- Make sure you remove pine needles, grass, leaves and twigs
- Be sure you have a hose or pail of water and a shovel to control the fire
3. Build your Campfire
- Keep your campfire small, no larger than 0.3 cubic meters is permitted without a permit
- Small fires are easier to manage and better for cooking
