There&#8217;s nothing better than waking to beautiful foliage&nbsp;<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/articles-and-news\/top-5-lake-areas-to-view-the-best-fall-foliage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">when the leaves are in peak season<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Since the air is crisp this time of year, making a bonfire is a beloved part of camping.

Check out our advice on how to create a safe and fun bonfire while camping this fall!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Know the Local Rules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"595\" height=\"298\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/campground-zion-national-park.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13845\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/campground-zion-national-park.jpg 595w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/campground-zion-national-park-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px\" \/><figcaption>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zionnational-park.com\/grand-staircase-escalante.htm\">Zion National Park<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on your campground, the rules surrounding where and when you can light a fire may differ. It&#8217;s best to call the campground or visitor center before making the trip (and before you lose cell phone service in the woods) so you can find out the regulations.<\/p>\n<p>These fire rules can also change depending on weather conditions. If it&#8217;s been windy or dry lately, for example, the park might ban campfires due to potential hazards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Local Kindling Wood<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"751\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/wood-pile-for-splitting-nominated-by-loreke76_t20_om9J7k-1024x751.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13847\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/wood-pile-for-splitting-nominated-by-loreke76_t20_om9J7k-1024x751.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/wood-pile-for-splitting-nominated-by-loreke76_t20_om9J7k-300x220.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/wood-pile-for-splitting-nominated-by-loreke76_t20_om9J7k-768x563.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/wood-pile-for-splitting-nominated-by-loreke76_t20_om9J7k-1536x1126.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/wood-pile-for-splitting-nominated-by-loreke76_t20_om9J7k-2048x1501.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When choosing wood to start a campfire, be sure to buy it near the campground. Better yet, choose a variety of sticks and tree branches from the local campground.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;If you buy wood elsewhere, you never know what pests it might bring along with it! The last thing you want to do is introduce non-native pests to the natural environment.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Once you have the firewood, remember not to stack them in a dense pile. Instead, lay down larger pieces in a crosshatch pattern (much like when playing&nbsp;<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Jenga-A2120EU4-Classic-Game\/dp\/B00ABA0ZOA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Jenga<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Place the dried leaves and twigs at the bottom of your &#8220;tower&#8217; and light the fire.

Perhaps &#8220;gasoline&#8221; is the first word that comes to mind when you think of accelerants, but it&#8217;s hazardous to add gas to a campfire. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Instead, stick to using lighter fluids if you must use an accelerant &#8212; and remember to never use it directly on open flames. Also, be sure to confirm with the campground&#8217;s visitor center that the use of lighter fluids is okay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Besides accelerant products, one practical way to create long-lasting campfires is by\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.woodsplitterdirect.com\/blogs\/wsd\/how-to-select-the-right-firewood\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">picking the right wood<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.

This statistic includes campfires that are left unattended and not extinguished properly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To keep the site safe, be sure to extinguish the fire with water (but don&#8217;t stand too close to the steam), then stir the ashes and pour water again. You should repeat this process until the ashes are cool to the touch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Although some recommend it, don&#8217;t use dirt or sand to extinguish campfires. In doing so, hot coals can remain insulated and cause another flame.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Before leaving the campsite, remember to burn trash that can be fully consumed by fire. Anything that can&#8217;t burn (e.g., plastic, cans, and aluminum foil) should be carried and thrown away accordingly.
