Preparing and extinguishing the fire and the best recipes

To prepare and light a fire, you will need to gather some materials and follow these steps:

  1. Choose a suitable location for your fire. This should be a flat, open area away from trees, buildings, and other flammable structures. Make sure the area is clear of leaves, twigs, and other debris that could catch fire.
  2. Gather materials for your fire. You will need some dry kindling (small, dry sticks and twigs), larger logs or branches, and a fire starter (such as matches, a lighter, or fire starter cubes). You may also want to have a bucket of water or a fire extinguisher nearby in case of emergencies.
  3. Build your fire. Start by arranging your kindling in a tepee shape (a cone-like structure with the point facing upwards). Place your fire starter in the center of the kindling, and then add larger logs or branches around the outside.
  4. Light your fire. Use your fire starter to ignite the kindling in the center of the fire. The fire should spread to the larger logs or branches as it burns.
  5. Maintain your fire. Once your fire is lit, you will need to tend to it to keep it burning. Add more logs or branches as needed to keep the fire going. Be sure to extinguish your fire completely when you are done using it.

In Poland, it is generally allowed to make a bonfire in designated areas in the forest. It is important to follow local regulations and obtain any necessary permits before building a fire in the forest. It may also be possible to light a bonfire on the beach in Poland, but again, it is important to follow local regulations and obtain any necessary permits.

It is important to always be cautious when building a fire in the forest, as even a small spark can potentially start a wildfire. Here are some steps you can take to properly extinguish a fire in the forest:

  1. Douse the fire with water: Thoroughly douse the fire with water until all of the embers are extinguished. Use a bucket or a large pot to scoop up water from a nearby source, if one is available.
  2. Stir the ashes: Use a shovel or stick to stir the ashes and embers to ensure that all of the hot spots are fully extinguished.
  3. Feel the ashes: Use your hand or a stick to feel the ashes to ensure that they are cool to the touch.
  4. Check for hotspots: Look for any remaining hotspots and douse them with water until they are extinguished.
  5. Scrape the ground: Use a shovel or stick to scrape away any remaining embers or ashes from the ground.
  6. Leave no trace: Be sure to leave the area where you had your fire looking as if no fire was ever built. This includes filling in any holes and leveling the ground, as well as properly disposing of any trash.

If you are in a situation where you need to quickly put out a wildfire, you should call 112 immediately and follow any instructions provided by emergency personnel. Do not try to extinguish a wildfire on your own, as it can be extremely dangerous and you could potentially put yourself and others in harm’s way.
