Hunting season
Be cautious if you are having a campfire while hunting. Vegetation is extremely dry and flammable at this time of year. Even a small campfire can lead to a wildfire if it is not extinguished properly. If you are having a campfire, ensure you are doing so safely:
- Build campfires on mineral soil, in areas that are clear of grass, twigs and leaves.
- Keep fires small and never leave them unattended.
- Extinguish your campfire when you are done with it. Soak it, stir it and soak it again.
- A fire is out when no heat remains in the ashes.
