The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources reminds everyone to be safe with backyard campfires this fall.

All campfires should be:

  • Clear of any combustible material 5 feet in all directions around the fire.
  • Contained within a designated fire ring. To build one, scoop out a depression in the center of a cleared area and arrange a ring of rocks around it.
  • 3 feet or less in diameter and 3 feet or less in height.
  • Legal—check if the local municipality requires a permit.

Additionally, it’s important to select a safe place for a campfire. Choose a level area not near dry grass, shrubs or logs, and free of overhanging branches. Always have a shovel and water available to extinguish a fire. Watch the fire at all times — even a light breeze can cause the it to spread. Finally, extinguish fires with water or dirt, and stir the embers repeatedly until every ember is out cold.
