Fire Safety at Lilies
- Check for local burn bans or restrictions before conducting any open burning.
- Keep fire a minimum of 75 feet from all buildings.
- Never use gasoline, kerosene or any other flammable liquid to start the fire.
- Do not leave a fire unattended.
- Have fire extinguishment materials on hand, including a water supply, shovels and rakes.
- Be prepared to extinguish your fire if the winds pick up.
- DO NOT delay a call for help – call the fire department immediately at the first sign of the fire getting out of control.
Site Rules for Fires
All fire pits must be inspected by the Lilies Fire Safety Coordinator before they are used. If a camp has a fire pit of any sort, a fire extinguisher (Class AB minimum) needs to be present also.
Do not dig fire pits in roadways, walkways or the safety zones around the gas pipelines.
No open bowl type torches and no ground torches that are not secured in place. (For example, tiki torches must be put securely into the ground or a portable hole so that they cannot be easily knocked over.)
You may gather deadfall material from the woods to use as firewood.
Fire shows are prohibited without prior written approval from the Lilies Committee. Fire shows include, but are not limited to, fire walking, fire breathing, explosives, pyrotechnics and fire poi.
You must fill in your fire pits prior to leaving the war. Please stamp down the ashes and replace the soil. Don’t use your fire pit to bury your trash.
Please be careful with all open flames.
Fires in grills, hibachis, and the like are permitted if ash and coals are disposed of in a responsible manner.
