What are the best practices for campfire safety

Sure thing! Here are six different responses about campfire safety:

1. **Keep it Small**: Always build a small fire in a designated fire pit. It’s easier to control and less likely to get out of hand. Plus, it’s more cozy!

2. **Clear the Area**: Before you light up, make sure the area around your fire is clear of any flammable materials like leaves, branches, or anything that could catch fire easily. Safety first!

3. **Water On Hand**: Always have a bucket of water or a fire extinguisher nearby. You never know when you might need to put the fire out quickly.

4. **Never Leave It Unattended**: Seriously, don’t walk away from your campfire. Keep an eye on it at all times, especially if kids or pets are around.

5. **Extinguish Properly**: When you’re done, make sure to put the fire out completely. Douse it with water, stir the ashes, and make sure it’s cool to the touch before leaving.
