Fire Responsibly

🔥 Only make fires where permitted – never during fire bans. This applies to everyone, regardless of experience.

🔥 Place the fire on gravel or sand, surrounded by stones. Avoid lighting fires on rock, peat, moss, trees, stumps, or dry grass. Do not make fires in windy conditions.

🔥 Burn only toilet paper – no other trash.

🔥 Extinguish thoroughly with plenty of water. Stir the ashes, check with your hand – is it cool? Restore the area so no trace is left behind.
