Only build fires in designated areas or established fire rings. Keep the fire manageable, and always have water or dirt nearby to extinguish it quickly. Never leave a fire unattended.
Be aware of weather conditions, as wind can spread flames rapidly. Collect only dead and downed wood for fuel and avoid cutting live trees or damaging vegetation.
Proper fire extinguishing is critical. Douse flames thoroughly with water, stir ashes, and repeat until completely cool. Fires left smoldering can cause wildfires and endanger lives.
Camping safety also includes proper food storage to avoid wildlife encounters, maintaining a clean campsite, and understanding local regulations. Following these protocols ensures a safe, enjoyable and environmentally responsible camping experience.
