🔥 Fire Safety Best Practices for Sankt Hans Eve

1. Choosing a Safe Bonfire Location

✔️ Keep the fire at least 10 meters away from buildings, trees, and fences
✔️ Check for fire bans—local authorities may have restrictions due to dry weather
✔️ Avoid flammable materials near the fire, such as dry grass or wooden furniture

🛑 Tip: Place your bonfire on a non-combustible surface, like gravel, sand, or stone, to reduce fire spread.

---

2. Controlling the Fire Safely

✔️ Build a manageable-sized fire—oversized bonfires can quickly become dangerous
✔️ Use dry firewood instead of accelerants like gasoline, which can cause flare-ups
✔️ Never leave the fire unattended—always have an adult monitoring it

🔥 Tip: Use a Nordlox smart outdoor camera to keep an eye on the fire remotely, especially if hosting guests.

3. Keeping Fire Extinguishing Tools Nearby

✔️ Always have a water source ready, like a garden hose or a bucket of water
✔️ Use sand or a fire extinguisher to quickly put out flames if needed
✔️ Have a metal shovel to spread out embers when cooling down the fire

🚒 Nordlox smart alarms can detect rapid temperature increases, sending instant alerts to your phone in case of fire risks.

4. Ensuring Safe Firewood & Burning Materials

✔️ Only burn untreated wood—painted or chemically treated wood releases toxic fumes
✔️ Never burn plastics, rubber, or other hazardous materials
✔️ Be mindful of wind direction to prevent smoke from blowing towards guests or homes

♻️ Tip: Choose eco-friendly firewood for a cleaner and safer bonfire experience.

5. Extinguishing the Fire Properly

✔️ Let the fire burn down naturally, then douse it with plenty of water
✔️ Stir the ashes to ensure all embers are out—hidden embers can reignite
✔️ Check the fire pit hours later to ensure complete extinguishment

🛑 Tip: Nordlox smart temperature sensors can alert you if embers remain hot, reducing the risk of rekindling.
