We love to get outdoors and enjoy every bit of nature that surrounds us. 

So it seems only fitting that we respect it and do our best to act responsibly while enjoying it. 

Fire is essential, primal and natural to Humankind.  Campfires and Bonfires go hand in hand with our ideas of living it up outdoors.  Simple and earthy enjoyments wouldn’t be the same without campfires to heat our food or bonfires to warm us. 

At Bonfire Central, we’re being mindful of protecting what we love by making smart choices and passing on healthy reminders for limiting environmental impact.  We hope the following information will be helpful with your Green ambitions!  Please pass it on.

There are some important things to think about the next time you light a fire, good ideas and also some common sense:

• Limit gases and toxins in the smoke by burning only clean lawn and yard waste: untreated wood, dry branches and garden brush.
• Use what you can from nature’s waste.  When in the wilderness take only broken branches or dead vegetation from the ground, avoid cutting firewood from living trees and plants.
• Do not burn oils, household garbage, plastics, rubber and aerosol cans or anything containing paint, foam or chemicals.
• Keep fire as far away as possible from wildlife habitats and animal homes.  Keep outside pets a safe distance from fire.
• Make your fire only as big as you need it.
• Follow the rules set by your County, State or National Park or Forest: Get a permit if necessary and be aware of wildfire hazards and safety precautions.
• Enjoy our nature and be mindful of protecting it!
