Continuing our series on Summer Fire Safety this week EFD would like to offer a few tips on Campfire Safety.

• Make sure campfires are legal in the area, especially while visiting state and national parks
• Build campfires away from dry vegetation
• Never leave a campfire unattended
• Do not wear scarves, skirts or other loose fitting clothing near a campfire
• Always keep a shovel and plenty of water nearby
• Do not let children play near campfires
• When finished with your campfire, douse it with water, stir it with your shovel, and douse it with water again.

Here’s hoping you have a safe and enjoyable summer! Next time: Fireworks Safety!
