Miscellaneous Information and Tips about Fire

Fire Fan
We often think of blowing on a fire to help get it started or keep it going. But a fan is much more effective and a whole lot less work!
In northeast North America a branch from Eastern White Cedar probably makes the most effective quick and easy fire fan. This tree is very common, and the branches are flexible yet firm enough to use as a fan. More info on Eastern White Cedar is on the Ontario Trees website.
