🔥 It’s getting hotter and vegetation is drying quickly. If you need to burn brush or debris while the burn ban is not in effect, do so safely! That means:

-Making small, manageable piles
-Wearing gloves, long sleeves, and closed-toe shoes
-Burning away from buildings
-Having water or fire extinguisher nearby
-Soaking the pile with water when finished

🚨 Always check with your local Fire Department to see if a permit is needed to burn.
