Here is a list of tips and guidelines you should follow in building and extinguishing your campfire Circle the pit with rocks or be sure it already has a metal fire ring. Clear a 10 foot area around the pit down to the soil. Keep plenty of water handy and have a shovel for throwing dirt on the fire if it gets out of control. Stack extra firewood upwind and away from the fire. Keep the campfire small. A good bed of coals or a small fire surrounded by rocks gives plenty of heat. After lighting the fire make sure your match is out. Never leave a campfire unattended. Even a small breeze could quickly cause the fire to spread. When extinguishing the fire, drown the fire with water. Make sure all embers, coals, and sticks are wet. Move rocks, there may be burning embers underneath. Stir the remains, add more water, and stir again.
