Fire camp
A fire camp is a temporary outdoor area where a controlled fire is built, usually for warmth, cooking, light, or social gathering. Fire camps are common in activities like camping, trekking, scouting, and survival training.
Key Features of a Fire Camp
• Campfire: The central fire used for cooking, warmth, and ambiance.
• Fire Ring or Pit: A safe space (often surrounded by stones or a metal ring) to contain the fire.
• Seating Area: Logs, rocks, or camping chairs placed around the fire.
• Cooking Setup: A grill, tripod, or flat stones for preparing food.
• Safety Measures: Water, sand, or soil nearby to put out the fire quickly.
Uses
• Cooking (roasting marshmallows, grilling, boiling water).
• Heat (especially in cold weather).
• Light (in dark outdoor settings).
• Protection (from wild animals in some cases).
• Social Interaction (storytelling, singing, and group bonding).
⚠️ Safety Tip: Always keep a bucket of water or sand nearby and fully extinguish the fire before leaving or sleeping.
