Additionally, avoid constructing campfires under overhanging tree branches. By following these precautions, you can enjoy your campfire while minimizing the risk of accidental fires.
• Fire Height Restrictions: To prevent any potential hazards, please ensure that your campfire does not exceed a height of 18 inches. This height restriction ensures better control and reduces the risk of embers or sparks reaching nearby vegetation.
