WILDFIRES
As a Forest Fire Warden for over 30 years, I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that debris burning is the leading cause of wildfires. Please consider the following:
Wildfire season begins in March and lasts until green vegetation takes over the landscape.
• Compost yard waste. Don’t burn it.
• If you must burn household waste, do it in a ventilated barrel with a screened lid.
• Don’t burn on dry, windy days.
• Rake dried grass and leaves away from burn barrel.
• Don’t burn in or along a forest edge.
