We love a good campfire at Beavers Bend Cabin Country. But just like love itself, we don&#8217;t want it to run wild. Here are five tips for keeping your fires safe and fun in Beavers Bend Cabin Country.<\/span><br \/><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-60266\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.icgadv.com\/directory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/MCT_1121_02888-Campfire_Smores.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>1. Pick the Right Spot<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always make sure you&#8217;re in an area that allows campfires. Look for a spot away from overhanging branches or low-hanging vegetation, nothing between the fire and the sky. Clearing a 10-foot circle from debris will ensure your fire is the only fire. Just like any good relationship, fires need boundaries. Most <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/beaversbendcabincountry.com\/stay\/cabin\/?\/filter\/e&amp;\/features\/:1036\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cabins<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and fire-designated areas should have a pit for you to use. These help keep your fire from setting camp elsewhere.<\/span><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-60267\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.icgadv.com\/directory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/MCT_1123_OffSeason_Campfire_75-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>2. Mind the Weather<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rain ain&#8217;t the only thing that can ruin your campfire&#8217;s parade. Windy conditions have hazardous potential for spreading fires, so mind the weather before starting your fire. Always check to see if your area is under a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/safestayok.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">burn ban<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-60269\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.icgadv.com\/directory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/MCT_1222_Campfire_-silhouette_42.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>3. Manage Your Flame<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fire may be the star of the party, but you need to be the one in control. A bonfire is way more than you need and can threaten the lil&#8217; critters&#8217; homes around you. Never leave a fire unattended. Like a nasty rumor, wildfires spread quickly. So keep a watchful eye all the way through, and always be ready with a water source and shovel nearby.<\/span><br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-60270\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.icgadv.com\/directory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DSC3076.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>4. Drown &#8211; Stir &#8211; Feel<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to extinguish a fire is to let it reduce down naturally. However, if you need to call it a night sooner, remember the wisdom of Smokey Bear:<\/span><br \/><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drown <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Pour lots of water over all the embers, not just the red ones, until the hissing stops.<\/span><br \/><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stir<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; If you don&#8217;t have water, use your shovel to stir dirt or sand into the embers. Continue until no embers are left exposed and smoldering.<\/span><br \/><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feel<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Use your hand to see if the pit is cool enough to touch. In the words of Smokey himself, &#8220;If it&#8217;s too hot to touch, it&#8217;s too hot to leave.&#8221;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow these steps, and you won&#8217;t have to worry about your fire making an encore.<\/span><br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-60264\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.icgadv.com\/directory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DSC04149-Enhanced-NR-Edit-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>5. Leave Only Memories<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gather your belongings, pick up the trash, and leave your area as you found it, or better. You don&#8217;t want to ruin the experience for future visitors making their campfire, or worse, leave behind anything that could threaten the wildlife if they got their paws on it.<\/span><br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-60271\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.icgadv.com\/directory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/MCT_1222_Campfire_MomGirls_62.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get Here Already<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For additional fire safety information and evacuation plans, visit <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/safestayok.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/safestayok.org\/<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
