It creates a focal point for an evening's social activities, whether for a family, boy scout group or fishing and hunting pals. 'But campfires-are also one of the main causes of forest fires in Ontario. In fact, 1,500 forest fires are started every year in Ontario. Eighty per cent of these are started by people through careless use of campfires, cigarettes and matches. _ Even experienced campfires can accidentally set off a destruc- tive wildfire. It only takes one thoughtless act or moment.

PSE e, STH amt = Lakehead University Excellence in Education does not mean you should be afraid to build a fire or panfry your next shore lunch when fishing, or to keep you warm and bug-free at your campsite. It is possible to enjoy a campfire without risk simply by paying attention to weather conditions and following some simple fire safety rules. Firstly, ask yourself if condi- tions are right for a safe campfire. For example, if it is hot, dry and windy, there is a good chance that sparks from a fire will blow into nearby woods and readily ignite forest litter and underbrush. If you decide that conditions allow for a campfire, the next step is to choose a safesite. If possible, locate the fire near water. Keep a full container of water close by at all times. Stay away from dry grass, leaves, trees and shrubs. Prepare the ground carefully. Build on bare rock if you can, or else clear a two-metre area around the fire site by digging down to the mineral soil. This will prevent the fire from igniting leaves, pine needles, moss and grass which has accumulated on the forest floor. It will also pre- vent the possibility of the fire spreading underground through rot- ten logs and roots, only to resurface elsewhere at a later date. Before lighting the fire, collect enough wood to last the evening. Many fires spread when left unat- tended while someone looks for more fuel. Keep a stockpile of larg- er wood well away from the camp- fire site. Many people believe that a ring of stones will contain a campfire. They could have the opposite effect, actually, by hiding left-over embers from sight and protecting them only to flare up later. Another rule of thumb is to keep your campfire small. That way, it's easier to control if wind speed or direction changes. Food will cook more evenly and just as quickly with a small fire. Cooking utensils won't become blackened or overheated, and the cook will be able to stay close to the fire without discomfort or bummed fingers. At night, the camp- fire gathering will be closer around a smaller fire. How you put out a fire once you are finished with it is just as impor- tant as how you build it. THere are three basic steps to follow: drown it; stir the ashes; and drown it again until the remains are cool enough to touch. Put out a campfire as soon as possible after cooking if there is no further use for it. The chances of spreading are much less likely and heat absorption will be minimized. _ Remember, 'if coals and ashes are too hot to touch, the fire is not out. Although campfires are not cur- rently restricted by the Ministry of Natural Resources, great care should still be exercised. Don't take anything for granted when building a campfire in the forest. No matter how many safe campfires you have previously enjoyed, conditions will always be a little different each time. By following these basic tules and using common sense, you can be sure your campfire won't set the woods on fire!
