2022 Campfire and Bonfire Safety

5/4/2022 (Permalink)

The warm weather is finally starting to arrive and that means more time spent outdoors! Get-togethers with friends and family to catch up with each other and to have some fun. Campouts and bonfires see a rise in popularity during the warmer months too but be sure to follow proper precautions if you're joining in. Campfires and bonfires carry much more danger than people may realize, dried leaves, grass or foliage can quickly and easily catch alight from even the smallest of embers!

It is best to start by surveying your campgrounds or bonfire area for any possible fire hazards. As mentioned, be on the lookout for dry or dying grass, bushes, and trees. After you've taken note of all potential hazards, clear the area to create a safe zone for your activities! You may even want to keep a small fire extinguisher or source of water nearby in case something goes wrong. Remember, it's okay to have fun and spend time with friends, but it's also important to be vigilant and careful. Stay safe and have fun!
