How to prevent campfires from turning into wildfires

Safe guards for campfires:

1. Have a shovel or 8 L (2 gallons) of water nearby to extinguish your fire.
2. A campfire cannot be larger than 0.5m (20″) in diameter and 0.5m high.
3. Don’t light a campfire in windy conditions.
4. There must be a 1 M fireguard (fuel free area) around the campfire.
5. Never leave a campfire unattended.
6. Extinguish the fire ensuring that the ashes are cold to the touch before leaving the campfire.
7. You could be held accountable by the Dept. of Forestry for damages and fire suppression costs if your campfire results in a wildfire.

If you see a wildfire, or illegal campfire, call 1.800.663.5555.  Taking a picture of the fire would also be helpful.
