No fire or stove may be lit outside the caravan shelters until the ground has been cleared, within a radius of at least one metre, of all branches, twigs, dead leaves, grass and the like. Once lit, fires must be kept under constant supervision. After they are put out, the hearths must be carefully covered with sand or earth, or generously doused with water.
