We collected twigs and sticks and then used cotton wool covered in Vaseline as our fuel. We used a fire starter tool to create a spark. Once the spark had ignited the fuel it was our job to keep the fire burning in a controlled and safe way. At the end of the session we made sure our fires were put out safely and that we left the woods in the same condition we had found them in.
