A crackling campfire under the stars - is there anything more beautiful? But at some point even the most beautiful evening is over and the fire has to be put out. But what is the best way to go about this to ensure that no embers remain and the fire does not flare up again accidentally? Here we show you how to put out a campfire quickly and effectively.
Step-by-step instructions for safely extinguishing your campfire:
1. Do not add more fuel: When the evening is drawing to a close, do not add any more wood. Let the flames burn down gradually until only embers remain.
2. Spread the embers: Use a stick, shovel or similar tool to push the embers apart. By spreading the embers, they cool down faster and lose heat.
3.Use soil or sand: Ideally, you will have some soil or sand handy. Cover the remaining embers generously with it. This will smother the fire by cutting off oxygen and prevent it from flaring up again.
4. Be patient and monitor: Stay close by and monitor the fire for a while. Make sure there are no embers or sparks left. This is an important step to ensure that the fire is completely out.
5. Safety check: If you want to make sure that everything is out, carefully hold your hand over the fire pit to check the temperature. If you no longer feel any heat, the fire is completely extinguished.Important instructions:
- Avoid water: As tempting as it may be to use water to put out the fire, you should only consider this step in an emergency. Water, when it comes into contact with hot embers, can create steam that can be dangerous. In addition, splashing water can stir up sparks and ash.
- Clean environment: Make sure that there are no flammable materials such as dry grass, leaves or pieces of wood around your fire pit. This minimizes the risk of the fire accidentally spreading.
With these simple steps, you can ensure that your campfire is completely and safely extinguished at the end of the evening. Nothing stands in the way of a relaxing night!
