‼️REMINDER‼️DO NOT BURN‼️
Definition:
A burn ban is a temporary restriction that prohibits certain types of outdoor burning because conditions make fires more likely to start and spread. Burn bans are typically issued during dry, hot, or windy weather to reduce the risk of wildfires.
What is prohibited depends on the specific burn ban, but it often includes:
* Burning yard waste, leaves, or brush piles.
* Campfires
* Open burning in barrels or pits.
* Sometimes the use of fireworks or other activities that create sparks.
Violating a burn ban can result in fines or other penalties and if your fire causes a wildfire, you could also be held responsible for the damages.
