Reminders about Fire Safety

There is a lot of wood on the beach available for burning. Residents love to have beach fires, which are allowed… however keep in mind:

• Fires should be far away from walking paths, homes, and potentially flammable grass.
• Dig a pit before starting for your fire to make it easier to cover up the charred wood with sand when you’re finished.
• Beach fires must be completely doused with water before being abandoned.  Do not leave a fire with burning embers or a hole into which someone could fall in the dark.

 

Generally, when digging holes on the beach, please ensure that you fill in the hole afterwards to prevent danger to people and animals.  It is very dangerous to have a deep hole in the sand.  Also, if you build a structure from driftwood, please dismantle the structure at the end of the day to prevent injury to people and animals.  A structure can become very unstable with wind and water.
