Fire Building

Having outdoor skills like knowing how to build a fire is important when you spend a lot of
time outside. Learn basic fire safety tips and then have fun building a fire at a program on
Friday, July 3 from 12:00-1:30 PM at the Hurstville Interpretive Center.

This event has two parts. Come to one or both. From 12:00-12:30, make and take your own
fire starters using recycled and natural materials. From 12:30-1:30 learn about different
types of fires, different fire-starting materials, and then build your own. We will roast
marshmallows over the fire too! Registration is not required. Program is free and open to all
ages. Family friendly event!
