USDA issues guidelines for safe marshmallow roasting

(Sept. 1, 2014) -- First, let’s talk safety. Never start a campfire when there are fire restrictions in place. The restrictions are put in place for your safety and for the safety of others. If campfires are allowed, use an existing fire ring or pit. Be sure you are at least 15 feet from tent walls, trees or other flammable objects, USDA warned.
