Camping and cottage nights are for relaxing - not reacting!
With peak season in full swing, campfires and BBQs are everywhere. But one unattended flame can spread fast in dry conditions.
Don’t leave it till it’s out:
✔ Pour water on it
✔ Stir it up to ensure no hidden embers
✔ Make sure it’s completely cool
Because the only thing that should be spreading this summer is good vibes.

Smoking Butt Disposal - Dry Summers
Late summer heat can turn dry lawns, mulch, and yard debris into quick-burning fuel and even small sparks can cause major problems. Carelessly tossed smoking materials are still one of the top causes of preventable outdoor fires.

Before you walk away, take a second to do it right:
✔ Fully put it out (no smoke, no heat!)
✔ Use a proper ashtray
✔ Keep cigarette butts out of gardens, planters, and landscaping

Let’s keep things glowing for the right reasons - sunshine, not fires.
