Campfires...good in moderation
This happened two days ago. The moral of the story is common knowledge but bears repeating.
A dad and his buddies at a neighboring site thought that racing fuel would make a good campfire starter. The flame is invisible and will ignite in a fireball. Unfortunately, his sixteen year old son was in the line of fire and is receiving skin grafts as I write this.
Obviously, firewood and paper are the only things that belong in a firepit.
Secondly, update your first aid kits. Per the paramedics, it should at least contain gloves and a CPR barrier. Keep room temp water and clean sheets on hand.
I'm no nurse, but I like to think that a little preparation and knowledge went a long way.
