Directions: Read the following passage, and answer the question that follows. Building a CampfireA If you’ve ever gone camping, chances are you spent some time around a campfire. Whether you’re backpacking in the wilderness or just roasting marshmallows in the yard, sitting by a campfire is great fun. Building a campfire sounds very simple, but doing it properly is more complicated than many people think. There are several different ways to build a campfire, and there are some important safety rules to follow.B The first step in building a campfire is to choose a good location. Then, clean away all the leaves, grass, or underbrush nearby. Your spot should be completely bare of everything but dirt. Also, clear the area around your spot for a distance of at least ten feet. Fires throw out burning sparks, so it is important to make sure that there is no dry grass, pine needles, or leaves that could catch fire. C There are three types of wood you will need for a campfire: tinder, kindling, and fuel. Tinder is material that will catch fire easily from a single match. Examples of tinder are dry pine needles, dry bark, and very thin twigs. A handful of tinder is about the right amount. One of the best things to use is the bark from a birch tree. The bark produces a good flame and will burn even when wet. Softwood such as pine or cedar is usually best because it catches fire quickly, but thin, dry hardwoods work as well.D The tinder needs to burn only long enough to ignite the kindling, which is the next largest type of wood you will use. Kindling includes thin sticks you find on the ground and dead branches that are still on trees. If a branch snaps off easily, it is dry and will probably burn well. If it bends instead of snapping, it is too green to use. Each branch should be about as thick as a pencil.E Fuel means larger pieces of wood that will burn for a long time at an even temperature. The best choices are hardwoods such as hickory, oak, beech, sugar maple, and white ash. Logs should be about a foot or two long.F There are many different ways to arrange the wood for your fire. Two of the most popular arrangements are the crisscross and the teepee. For cooking, the crisscross works best because it provides an even bed of hot coals. To build a crisscross fire, lay a pair of sticks alongside each other, a foot apart. Put the tinder, with the kindling around it, in the middle. Then, put another pair of sticks crosswise on top of the first two. Keep building the stack up until it is about a foot high. To build a teepee fire, first place the tinder on the ground. Then, shove a stick into the ground so that it slants at an angle over the tinder. Next, put kindling sticks around the slanted stick so that they are arranged in a circle with their tops leaning against each other. Leave a space between the sticks so that you can light the tinder and kindling with a match. Then, put the larger pieces of firewood around the kindling sticks in the same type of arrangement.G When you finish enjoying your fire, it is very important to make sure it is completely out. Have a canteen or bucket of water available. First, sprinkle water on the coals until they are soaking wet. Then, stir them around with a stick and sprinkle more water on any spots that are still hot. Sprinkle water on the ground all around the fire, also. Last, cover the wet ashes with dirt until they are completely buried.
