Why are open fires not always allowed?

Open fires pose risks s, especially in camps:

• Fire hazard: dry ground, tents, wood, textiles, and equipment can easily catch fire

• Damage to terrain: fire can damage grass, soil, and other surfaces
  Safety risks s for participants: participants can burn themselves or trip over fire pits

• Environmental and regulatory: some locations have local rules that restrict or prohibit open fires
  
  

For these reasons, event organizers often set specific rules:

• Use only designated fire places

• Use fire-safe pans, grill grates, or fire baskets

• Restrictions during drought or wind

• Sometimes a complete ban on open fires, with alternatives such as gas burners
  
  

• Check the event rules regarding open fires in advance.
  Use only approved fire sites and supervision when using fire.

• Keep extinguishing agents like water or fire extinguishers ready.

• Consider alternatives such as camping gas for cooking or warmth.
