Evening bonfires are wonderful, especially on a cool summer night on the beach. Nothing beats the aroma of burning wood, the salty sea air, and the soothing sound of the waves. Bonfire celebrations are also a fantastic way to commemorate a momentous occasion in the family, such as a birthday party. However, if you plan to burn anything other than sand or dirt, you will need a fire permit from the local government office. The same rule applies if you plan to smoke around the fire. Otherwise, you might end up with a fine for illegally constructed fire. It is important to remember that fireworks are very dangerous if not used properly. Even batteries can be dangerous if not handled properly. Be sure to use caution when working with any kind of fire.
