  • Patent number: 6918387
    Abstract: A portable campfire barrier system for preventing the spread of a campfire beyond an established perimeter that includes a one-piece containment wall secured in a ready-to-use configuration by a plurality of support members. When not deployed in the ready-to-use configuration, the containment wall can be collapsed for facilitating both storage and transport due to its ductile nature. The containment wall is of sufficient height to avert the campfire from igniting fuel beyond the containment area but still allow for the pleasant enjoyment of the campfire. In one form, the support members are adapted to engage the containment wall with clip members in order to maintain the wall in the ready-to-use configuration. A band fastened to one end of the containment wall further assists in maintaining the wall in the ready-to-use configuration. The support members are further adapted to be driven into the ground thereby providing additional stability.
