Every person who starts or maintains a campfire shall: (1) exercise every reasonable precaution to prevent the campfire from spreading; (2) before lighting the campfire, clear the ground of all combustible material five feet from the base of the campfire; (3) remain with the campfire at all times; and (4) before leaving the site, completely extinguish the campfire. For the purposes of this section, "maintains" means tending or adding substantial fuel to a campfire with the effect of extending the life of the campfire. Subdivision 1. Any forest officer, conservation officer, or other peace officer who finds that any person has left a campfire burning shall take measures to extinguish the fire and take action against the person or persons responsible for leaving the campfire burning.
