What regulation should be followed concerning the installation of bonfires in relation to flames and combustibles?

  1. Must be at least 5 feet away

  2. Must be at least 10 feet away

  3. Must be at least 15 feet away

  4. Must be at least 20 feet away

The correct answer is: Must be at least 10 feet away

The regulation concerning the installation of bonfires emphasizes maintaining a safe distance from flames and combustibles to prevent fire hazards. A minimum distance of 10 feet is established as a standard measure to reduce the risk of nearby combustible materials catching fire from the bonfire's flames or heat. This distance is considered adequate to ensure safety and mitigate the potential for fire spread, accounting for environmental factors such as wind and the typical behavior of flames. Following this guideline helps to protect people, property, and vegetation in the vicinity of the bonfire, thus enhancing overall safety during outdoor burning activities.
