Still Scouting

In my 13 years of Boy Scouting we only ever used fire buckets at summer camp (and then only at one of the two camps I went to). The camp that did use the buckets got rid of them in the mid 90s. The worry wasn't West Nile, but what might happen if there actually was a fire. Having boys fight a tent blaze could easily end up getting them hurt. I have always been taught (even when we had fire buckets) that it was better to get everyone out, and let it burn than to risk injury.
