from other sources of fire;

f. set the stove on a stable, level and clean surface when

FIRE SAFETY

Some safety guidelines to follow are:

a. ensure you have fire safety equipment available to you

before staring a fire. This equipment could be a shovel,

rake, pail with sand or water, or a fire extinguisher. This

equipment stays by the fire all the time. Never light a

fire beside a lantern, stove or fuel container;

b. never leave your fire unattended and always ensure the

fire is fully extinguished before leaving it;

c. choose a site that is already established as a fire

ring/pit/mound, or select a site that is free from

combustible ground cover, has no overhanging

branches, and is away from buildings (3m). Think about

where sparks might fly and pick a site that is appropriate

– don’t start a fire on a windy day;

d. ensure that you know the regulations concerning fires

for the area that you are in. Some parks, conservation

areas, and training areas do not allow fires at any time,

or may restrict fires when the weather has been hot and

dry; and

e. a small hot fire is more efficient and useful than a large

bonfire. Always keep the size of your fire under control,

and don’t use more wood than necessary to keep it

burning.
