Summer evenings are a great time to enjoy family and friends, and share stories around the campfire.

It is also a great opportunity to teach our future generations about fire safety.

If children are present, ensure they are not running or playing near the fire.

Keep your fire small, have a shovel and bucket of water on hand, and never leave the fire unattended.

Leading by example is a great way to teach fire safety.
