Campfire safety
Before heading outdoors, check albertafirebans.ca for current fire advisories, restrictions and bans. Keep campfires within a proper fire ring on a non-combustible surface, never leave a fire unattended and always keep water nearby.
If the wind exceeds 15 km/h, or increases beyond the conditions outlined on your fire permit, extinguish your fire immediately.
When extinguishing a campfire, soak it, stir it and soak it again until it is cool to the touch.
