If you’re planning a bonfire to celebrate Independence Day, don’t do this.

Footage posted online last week by YouTuber Gesali Diferg shows people adding accelerants to the wood for their bonfire.

The safest way to enjoy a summer blaze is by using a fire pit or fire ring and following precautions, instructions and common sense.
