If you are having a campfire, follow these important safety rules:

🔥 Check the daily Fire Weather Index at https://www.gov.nl.ca/fal/wildfiremanagement/fire-hazard-map/ before lighting any fire.

Campfires are permitted when the daily Fire Weather Index is Low (blue), Moderate (green), or High (yellow).

Campfires are banned when the Fire Weather Index is Very High (orange) or Extreme (red).

🍃Avoid having campfires on windy days.

🌲 Choose an open, clear area away from trees, brush, dry grass, and buildings.

🏕️ Keep campfires on bare soil, gravel, sand, or contained in a screened fire pit.

🔥Keep the campfire small and controllable.

💧Keep a bucket of water or a hose nearby at all times.

👀 Never leave a fire unattended and fully extinguish the fire before leaving it – soak it, stir the embers, and soak again.
