It's been a minute, but here is a quick reminder to all residents and visitors to our District. Wildfires are bad. Don't start them, and definitely don't help them out. Keep the weeds down and keep the cooking low and slow.

Burn ban is in effect until November 30th. Seems like summer gets longer and drier each time.

Stay cool this weekend, stay hydrated, and please stay safe so we can see you again next summer.

A little news bit for those who might have missed it..

The National Parks Service is banning campfires and other open flames due to extreme fire danger.

11/08/2025

There is no burn ban in our area. Although we have experienced some rain, the fuel (dry grass) and wind conditions are still a hazard.

If you are going to burn:
• Burn during daylight hours only.
• The fire must be out and cold by sundown.
• The fires must not exceed 3 feet in diameter.
• A shovel or rake must be on site.
• Water must be on site, and you must have a charged garden hose that can reach the fire.
• One person age 16 or older, who can put the fire out, must be in attendance at all times and have a method to call 911 if needed.
• Only one pile may be burned at a time unless otherwise permitted.
• It must not be an air stagnation period.
• All fires must be contained within a firebreak (bare ground). The firebreak must be double the size of the pile.
• The fire must be 50 feet from any structure, trees, or power lines.
• The landowner must give permission if the fire is not on your property.
• The fire must not create a nuisance.
• Consider chipping, mulching, composting, or transferring waste to a landfill if you cannot safely burn.

Thank you for staying safe.
