[MR] Campfire Safety

[Stefan li Rous]

<<< As we take a break during the winter months from camping I thought  
I'd post this link about campfire safety.

At several events in the last year there have been potentially  
dangerous situations regarding campfire construction, maintenance and  
discard of coals. These situations (the ones of which I am aware) did  
not become harmful only because other people intervened.

In our hobby we are around fire quite a lot. It is something we must  
know about and respect as well as enjoy.

If I may, here is a good pamphlet written up a number of years ago by  
Baron Durr and illustrated by the William Blackfox that also covers  
some of this from an SCA standpoint that folks might find useful. And  
the pictures are cute and memorable.
Fire-Book-art (739K) 12/28/00 Baron Durr's Guide to Safe Fire Use.

Originally written with Pennsic in mind, but applicable to most SCA  
outside events.
