bonfire

State regulations do allow for individual households to burn certain items but there are more things you are prohibited from burning than not.

I was today years old when I learned this could cost up to a thousand-bucks in fine and even jail time.

A bonfire following a High School Football Homecoming turned into a tragedy after someone threw a can of gas & diesel fuel onto the fire. Up to 40 teenagers were injured, some critically.

Every Wednesday in March you can enjoy Fire and Ice at Glensheen.

Summer is officially here and everyone should getting outside to have fun as much as possible.  If your outdoor adventures take you into areas managed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, remember that only approved firewood is allowed.

It's hard to beat a nice backyard campfire this time of year.  The weather is perfect to bundle up just enough, make a favorite warm drink and get out all you need to make s'mores.  That being said, it's also important to put safety first.

It's that time of year when vacation days are being used up and the campgrounds are filling up.  Nothing beats sitting around a campfire at night for good conversation and laughs but, before you build your fire, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has an important reminder.

When I was growing up, one of the things we did each summer on nice nights was to get friends together and have bonfires on Park Point.  I remember some of us would then split off and walk down the beach because there were fires everywhere and we'd see friends and meet new ones.  It appears that is something that is now strictly prohibited.

This is a little trick my family has been using for years.  If you enjoy a campfire, spice things up a bit and make it change some crazy colors.  It'll be something you'll want to show your friends next time you are camping!
