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!

  • Clear vegetation for 10 feet around your burn pile. Keep your burn pile small.
