Burn Responsibly: Four Debris Burning Tips

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 when Baling: 7 tips (11x8.5)

You can switch out the photo with a local picture, and add your own address, logo and website. This was designed as a 8.5x11 print flyer in PowerPoint, but you can export it to a jpg for posting as an image to social media or as a pdf for posting to a website or emailing.

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!

Responsible Burning Tips

Responsible Burning Tips

Burn permits are free and required for any burning outside city limits statewide. Always check with local agencies for burn restrictions.

  • Call your local fire department for local burning regulations.
  • Avoid burning on hot, dry, days, when a fire can easily get out of control.
  • Burn when the humidity is higher and the winds are calmer.
  • Clear vegetation for 10 feet around your burn pile. Keep your burn pile small.
  • Be prepared. Have a source of water and a shovel nearby.
  • Never leave your burn pile. Stay until it is completely out.
