But bon fires come at a high cost, if someone is injured at the event.

Proper Handling of Bon Fires Takes Some Skill Managing Fires

Bon fires are a hit at many outdoor party venues, but there is more to a bon fire than just lighting a match. Bon fires need to be carefully constructed, managed and handled at all stages of the fire being lit, to ensure the safety of everyone around them. There are many consideration factors that need to be reviewed before starting a bon fire safely. These factors for bon fire safety include:

• Limiting the size of the bon fire
• Making sure the bon fire is put out at the end of the event
• Only burning hard woods (not soft woods that will pop and cackle dangerous sparks out of the bon fire area)
• Sectioning off setback distances from the fire for partygoers to safely enjoy the bon fire
• Ensuring no trees or structures are in the way of the embers flying up from the bon fire
• Checking with the local authorities for permission to light a bon fire
• Keeping enough sand or water nearby to extinguish the fire after the event ends
• Completely cool down ashes, as they can stay hot for several days after a fire

First-, Second- and Third-Degree Burns Can Be Serious with a Bon Fire Injury

If you were injured at a bon fire, you may have suffered burns. These burns can be painful, life-altering injuries to your body. Burns are classified into different degrees. The different degrees of burns are as follows:

First-degree burns – minor burns affecting the outer layer of the skin. These burns cause pain, redness and discomfort, and may respond to over-the-counter pain medications to treat the burn.

Second-degree burns – these burns are partial thickness burns. They are deeper burns that can affect the outer and middle skin layers. There are blisters with second-degree burns, and may need skin grafts to help healing. There can be serious scarring with these types of burns.

Third-degree burns – these are called a full thickness burn, affecting the inner skin layers. These burns may harm the sweat glands, nerve endings, and inner tissues of the skin. They are painful, need skin grafts and will produce a burn scar that will require plastic surgeries in the future to help the healing process.

Even though there are designations for first, second or third-degree burns, all burns can be painful and can become infected. If a burn is infected, it will cause other serious and even life-threatening issues for the victim.

Smoke Inhalation at a Bon Fire Can Be Deadly

Any time that you breathe in wood smoke, it is a mixture of particulate matter (soot) and actually the chemicals produced by the reaction of carbon-containing materials burning. To give a short and easy physics lesson, this is what you need to know about smoke inhalation.

In fact, all smoke is made up of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and particulate matter. Smoke is actually not one “thing” when you see it at a bon fire. Rather, smoke is a combination of many different naturally occurring chemicals such as acid gases, sulfur dioxide, dioxins and other deadly byproducts of burning wood. It is easy to remember about smoke inhalation and its dangerous properties – all smoke is bad smoke! Any time you are inhaling smoke, you risk damaging your body. Smoke is hazardous to your:

• Eyes
• Nose
• Throat
• Lungs

The particulate matter that is the most dangerous, is the matter you cannot even see! These particles get stuck in your lungs, and can cause cancers, and other serious illnesses over time. Also, by breathing smoke in, you are decreasing the amount of oxygen you are getting in, to sustain your body. It is no wonder that you are injured by the smoke inhalation at a bon fire.
