"SHERYL MCGLOCHLIN: Hi, this is Sheryl with ExpertVillage.com. And today, we're talking about building a campfire in the snow in our backyard. Now, we have our fire going and there's four of us who are actually working on this fire but there are some people who should not be near a fire and as this fire goes a little bit more, it's going to get bigger. People who are drinking should not be near a fire. Sometimes, they may get a little carried away and somebody could fall in. Children, young children especially are people who should not be near a fire at least unsupervised and they need to be taught fire safety and a respect for the fire. And also, some people who don't like the smell of fire, they should not be near a fire because you will smell pretty smoky when you're actually get done building a fire or sitting around a campfire.
