Campfire Safety Tips

 

A huge fire has caused evacuation of a city, Villa Carlos Paz in Argentina. A man apparently was simply trying to heat a cup of coffee when winds caused the campfire to spread.

I went online and immediately found many videos on campfire safety.

These included putting out the fire after you have finished using water. if none available, with soil.

But can't you buy something safe, like a barbecue kit, with instant ways to shut down?

Various ways to reduce risk include, lighting a fire in a fire pit, having water or a fire extinguisher nearby, making a fire break such as a ditch or area burned not in a dangerous dry season., building your home in a lake.
