🔥 Did you do a controlled burn recently?
Now’s the perfect time to go back and check your burn piles. Even when they look out, old piles can smoulder deep underground for weeks. All it takes is a gust of wind for a hidden ember to flare up into a fast‑moving grass fire.

Here’s what you can do to keep your property—and your neighbours—safe:
🔥 If you burned large pits or debris piles this winter:
✔️ Revisit the site regularly
✔️ Stir the pile, soak it, then stir it again
✔️ Never assume it’s fully extinguished

🏡 A quick check today can prevent a wildfire tomorrow.
