Fire Danger

A word of warning about fire safety now that we have extremely dry conditions around the Park and several fires burning in the Province not too far from us.
A member noticed smoke rising from the fire pit on the beach a couple of days ago and, sure enough, it was smoldering under all the accumulated ash.
I don't know when the last fire was lit on the beach, but it was several days before and emphasizes the necessity of swamping the fire and ensuring it is completely soaked before leaving it.
Also, if you are a smoker, please make sure you take your butts with you, do not throw them on the ground assuming they are out.
