Notes from the Nest

Since the dawn of the caveman, humans have had a complicated relationship with fire. Our ape brains have learned (through trial and error) that as long as fire is in a small, contained area, it cannot cause much damage. However, we here at Wise Owl know that humans are also dumb, and make dumb decisions. Hence how wildfires are started, and also how everyone’s favorite shirtless forest creature was created - Smokey Bear. There are 6 general rules of campfire safety, as well as 5 general fire safety rules that we’re going to cover today. (We’ll also add in some great products to have around while you make your fire, so stick around for that!)
