campfire safety
Flame management outdoors
Campfire safety refers to practices that prevent wildfires and injuries when building and maintaining outdoor fires.
This includes choosing appropriate locations, clearing debris, keeping water nearby, never leaving fires unattended, and fully extinguishing flames before leaving: The ranger gave us a campfire safety talk before we headed into the backcountry.
