Buck the Habit! Burn Safely

• Make sure to have water and a shovel handy.
• NEVER leave your fire.

Stay With Your Burn Pile. Check with your fire department for burning regulations. Avoid burning on dry, windy days, when a fire can easily get out of control. Be prepared. Keep water, a fire extinguisher, and a shovel nearby. Never leave your burn pile. Stay until it is completely out.
