Campfire Safety
Did you Know?
Approximately 98 percent of wild-
fires in Minnesota are caused by
humans.
Smokey Bear was created in 1944
and reminds us that “Only You Can
Prevent Wildfires.”
More than 50 wildfires are started
each year in Minnesota by camp-
fires that are not completely extin-
guished, too large or unattended.
• Use a fire ring and build your
fire at least five feet away from any
combustible material.
• Keep a bucket of water near-
by to put out the fire.
• Keep a kid-free zone of three
feet around the campfire.
• Never leave your campfire
unattended.
• Check burning restrictions
with the DNR before starting your
campfire.You can also read
