* Build campfires in safe locations where the fire
cannot spread laterally or vertically.
* Build campfires far enough away from tents to prevent
sparks from burning holes in canvas or catching fire to the tent!

.* Build campfires well away from the picket lines.
* Have water ready to put out any undesirable fires.
* Do not load black powder weapons around the campfire.
* Have designated schedule for going on picket duty.

Spectator Safety
We as reenactors, learn, understand and accept the risks involved with the hobby.
Many of our events are open to the public who do not understand the risks involved.
At most public events, there is little between the participants and the
spectators except for a small line of rope.
We need to take precautions to provide for their safety.

* All firearms precautions taken for other participants must be observed
twice as much for spectators.
* Distance must be maintained especially during activities of high chaos.
* Spectators that come into camp should not be permitted to walk up to the
safety line without escort.
