The dangers

A May campfire burning out of control in two ways: on the ground or in trees. Dead leaves or pine needles on the ground in May ignite from direct contact with wood heating, or thermal radiation. Alternatively, the embers in the air (or their parents smaller sparks) May ignite dead material in industries. The latter threat is less likely, but a fire in a branch will be virtually impossible to extinguish fire without equipment, in May and spread more quickly than a ground fire. Thus, many campgrounds include fire rings to prevent that happening.

Embers May simply drop the ball and be carried away by air, or they may be ejected at high speed by exploding pockets of sap. With these dangers in mind, some places prohibit all open burning, especially during periods of the year that are vulnerable to forest fires.

Campfires are prohibited in many public camping. The public spaces with large expanses of forest have generally signs indicating the level of fire danger, which usually depends on recent rainfall and the amount of stun or dry debris and when the danger is highest, all the lights open are prohibited. Even in safer times, it is common to require registration and permits to build a campfire. These areas are often kept under observation by the Rangers, who will send someone to investigate any unidentified plume of smoke.
