Choose a safe spot: Set up near a water source and away from wind. Use bare rock or dirt and keep at least one metre from anything flammable with three metres of clear space above.

Prepare the area: Clear a two metre space of grass, leaves and twigs. Scrape down to soil and keep water and a shovel close by.

Keep it small: Build a fire no larger than one metre high and wide—smaller fires are safer, easier to control and better for cooking.

Stay with it: Never leave your campfire unattended. You are responsible for keeping it under control at all times.

Put it out completely: Douse with water, stir the ashes and repeat until everything is cool, soaked and no smoke remains.
