Which of the following is NOT a recommended way to build a fire safely?

1. Build fire near dry leaves and grass

2. Clear an area of all vegetation before building a fire

3. Keep a water source nearby to extinguish the fire

4. Use only small amounts of fuel at a time

The correct answer is: Build fire near dry leaves and grass

Building a fire near dry leaves and grass is not a recommended way to build a fire safely because these materials can easily catch fire and spread, causing a potentially dangerous situation. Option B, clearing an area of vegetation, is a recommended safety measure to prevent the fire from spreading uncontrollably. Option C, keeping a nearby water source, is also recommended in case the fire does get out of hand and needs to be extinguished quickly. And option D, using small amounts of fuel at a time, is a safe and efficient way to build a fire without it becoming too large or uncontrollable.
