Have you experienced being near a forest fire? Some summers ago, there was this forest fire in Quezon province right in the mountain that is visited by religious pilgrims. It was suspected that some hikers have left a fire that they used overnight which spread because of the dry grasses. Several pilgrims were injured by that forest fire and fortunately there was no casualty. For a responsible camper, fire should be extinguished lest you are courting a forest fire which not only would ruin the vegetation but also the animal life. When making fire to cook food, we sure to douse the fire with water when done. And if there is no water source, you can use the dirt (loose soil) to cover the fire with.
