Fire Safety at Your Public Campground
If you own a campground, your guests need to be informed about your rules upon checking in. Fire safety is one of the topics that should be thoroughly outlined, especially if dry, windy conditions are going to affect a person's ability to enjoy the campfire. In addition to verbalizing the rules, provide each client with a copy of the rules and offer merchandise in your campground store that will assist with fire responsibility and safety.
Give A Brief Rundown On Campfire Safety
Starting an outdoor fire may seem like a fairly basic task for campers to complete, but people who have lived in the city throughout their lives and who have never been camping may be confused as to how to start an adequate fire that will supply them with warmth and a cooking source. If your campground features a fire ring at each site, tell guests how to use kindling to fill the ring and what type of fuel source to apply to the kindling in order to start a fire.
Before leaving a campsite, a fire should be doused with water. If a flammable material is applied to a fire and it spreads, a fire extinguisher should be used to safely and quickly control the flames. Handheld fire extinguishers or a standard sized unit can be used to complete this requirement. After pulling the pin from an extinguisher, the nozzle should be aimed toward the flames. A foamy substance will be released, which will smother the fire.
Provide A Copy Of The Rules And Offer Supplies
People may anticipate all of the fun that they will have and may not be focused on the safety rules as much as you would prefer. Provide each guest with a printed copy of the fire safety rules. This will allow someone the opportunity to refresh their memory or check on a specific rule once they are back at their campsite relaxing. In addition, if your campground store is located nearby, point your customers in its direction.
Give each client an overview of some of the products that are for sale. Firewood, charcoal, lighter fluid, and mini extinguishers are some items that will help your guests get their campfires or grills up and running. These items will also guarantee they have the resources needed in case a fire begins to grow out of control and water doesn't successfully douse the flames.
