§Establish a “kid-free” zone 10 feet away from any charcoal or propane grill, fireplace or ground-level campfire
In comparison to indoor meal
preparation, outdoor cooking is more likely to be a lively special occasion.
It’s more likely to involve children, other relatives, friends and guests.,
and young children are especially likely to get excited.
Keep children away
from any outdoor cooking fire, no matter what the cooking method,
whether it’s a charcoal or propane grill, a raised fireplace or a
ground-level campfire.
To help keep
children away, establish and mark a “kid-free” zone extending 10 feet from
the fire on all sides. Make sure children and their main caretakers are well
aware of this zone before starting to cook.
