Be Ready to Put the Fire Out
Fill two five gallon buckets with either water, sand, or loose dirt. Place them within close proximity of the fire. In the event that the fire jumps the containment area or if the wood throws sparks or embers that might start a wildfire.
In the event of a fire, several buckets of sand are more likely to be effective at dowsing the flames than water. Even gasoline, oil, and other class B fires are safely and effectively dowsed by sand. Water conversely can turn to steam and fail to cool the fire to the point of extinguishment.
