Lighting fires and barbecuing are fun both on a trip and in the garden. In Norway, everyone has to be careful and prevent a fire. This applies to everyone, anytime, anywhere.

In Norway it is total lighting of bonfires and barbecues is prohibited from April 15 to September 15, when lighting bonfires and barbecuing is prohibited in and near forests and other wastelands. Beaches are most often classified as wastelands, so they may be completely prohibited from lighting bonfires and barbecuing.

Here are the tips for safe lighting fires:

• take into account the risk of fire in the forest and the strength of the wind
• there is always a fire starter responsible for fire safety
• a responsible person should always be an adult, not drinking alcohol • the fire must be at a considerable distance from the nearest buildings and vegetation
• you mustn't light fires on the rocks
• the size of the fire must allow it to be controlled and possibly extinguished in the event of such a need
• suitable extinguishing agents should be readily available
• it is forbidden to burn plastics, building materials and other rubbish
• extinguish it completely before leaving the fire
