Fire Safety

• Do not attempt to use a fire inside your shelter for warmth.
• Build fires downwind and well away from a flammable shelter.
• Maintain at least a three-foot clear area, free of leaves, dry grass, pine needles, etc., around the fire.
• Store extra firewood / tinder at least 6 feet away from the burning fire.
• Store flammable liquids outside and well away from your shelter.
• Build fires away from overhanging branches, steep slopes, rotten stumps, logs, dry grass, and leaves.
• Never attempt to burn aerosol cans; heated cans will explode.
• Never leave fires unattended.
