Prevention

Campers and other public land users need to follow basic campfire safety rules. Campfire use may be limited or prohibited at times due to dryness and other weather factors.

• Scrape back dead grass and forest materials from your campfire site.
• Keep your campfire small and under control; make it only as big as you need it.
• Keep a shovel and a water container nearby to douse escaped embers.
• Put your campfire dead out before leaving your campsite or going to sleep.
• Always follow current fire restrictions.
