Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFR)

Look Up, Look Down, and Look Around is an integral method for gathering situational awareness when responding to fire assignments. The increased use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in the public domain and on the fireline has significantly impacted the “Look Up” portion of the equation. It is critical to be aware of your surroundings on the ground and in the air.

Burn Responsibly

• Call before you burn. Fire officials may designate certain days for burning based on weather and wind conditions.
• Clear a 10-foot radius around your pile free of dead leaf litter and grass. Keep your burn small.
• If it’s too hot to touch then it’s too hot leave. Make sure your debris burn is dead out before leaving.
• Always have water and fire tools on site for quick suppression.

Watch for Sparks. Checking for and fixing fire hazards will reduce the chance of starting a wildfire. Check equipment for:

• any build up of crop residue around the engine, exhaust system, belts and chains;
• damaged exhaust system components;
• worn or badly frayed drive belts;
• broken or exposed electrical wiring;
• the odor of burning electrical wiring;
• worn or mis-aligned moving parts, which can indicate the lack of lubricant; and
•  signs of leaking fluids, oil and fuel.

Only you can prevent wildfires!
