When you want to relax, the last thing you're probably thinking about is fire safety - especially when you're outdoors or away from home. But that's when accidents can easily happen, particularly if you're in unfamiliar surroundings.
Leisure activities such as barbecues, camping, caravanning and boating should be relaxing and enjoyable experiences but it is important you're aware of the potential fire hazards that they pose.
