Typical hazards & measures
Chemical burns
— Ensure that participants do not use any chemicals to start or accelerate fires. Only natural materials like tinder, kindling, and wood should be used, and leaders should enforce this rule to avoid accidents.
Overcrowding fires
— Limit the number of participants near the fire, control the size of the fire, provide clear boundaries, monitor the area closely, ensure sufficient space around the fire.
Smoke inhalation
— Instruct participants to stay upwind of the fire and avoid leaning directly over it. Keep fires small to reduce smoke output and provide brief instruction on the dangers of inhaling smoke. If someone is affected, move them to fresh air immediately.
Injuries from fire building tools
— Supervise closely when participants use tools like knives or axes. Provide proper training on how to handle these tools safely, and ensure protective gloves are worn when necessary.
Burns from fire
— Provide detailed training on safe fire practices, use only small controlled fires, and ensure that there is continuous supervision. Keep a bucket of water or sand nearby, and instruct participants on safe distances and behavior around the fire.
