Burn Responsibly: Four 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. Please 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.
