Fire Safety

• Set up your tent 15 to 20 feet upwind from your fire.
• Should your tent catch fire, be prepared to cut your way out.
• Never use lanterns or camp stoves inside your tent; only flashlights.
• Keep children away from all fires.
• Acquire a burn permit if necessary.
• A fire extinguisher, water, or sand should be at the ready.
• Extinguish all flames before going to bed.
• Be sure the area around your fire is clear of dead plant matter.
• Remember to stop-drop-and-roll to put out clothing fires.
• Make sure no flammable materials, such as tree branches, are above the fire.
• Do not build fires in strong winds.
• Use caution at all times. Shirts catch fire easily.
