Be careful when barbecuing

Stand: 14.05.2025

Tips for your safety - for carefree social enjoyment outdoors for family and friends.

You should take particular care to minimize the risk of fire in the designated barbecue areas:

  • In particular, the barbecue must not be left unattended
  • Only approved barbecue lighters may be used to light the barbecue.

Never use methylated spirits or petrol. In addition to spreading the fire, there is a danger to life!

  • Do not use a fan because of the flying sparks
  • The ash may only be disposed of in the containers provided for this purpose.

Even after more than two days, the ash/glowing embers can still pose a fire hazard. If necessary, extinguish them carefully with water. A suitable extinguishing agent should preferably be provided.

Keep your distance and observe the fire and smoking ban

You should also be careful when barbecuing in private areas. It is particularly important to keep a safe distance from flammable objects. This is

  • at least five meters from buildings and individual trees, bushes, grasses or textiles. Also pay attention to the wind direction.
  • at least 100 meters from forests.

Fires and smoking are generally prohibited in and around forests from March to October.
