Planning to burn yard debris? Do it the safe way. 🔥 ✅

Before you strike a match:
1⃣ Check if burning is allowed in your area — Not all areas allow landscape debris burning. Visit burnpermit.fire.ca.gov.
2⃣ Get a permit — It includes key safety rules you must follow.
3⃣ Prep your site — Clear 10 feet around your pile; keep it under 4x4 feet.
4⃣ Stay ready — Have water and a shovel handy; never leave it unattended.
5⃣ Fully out — Drown, stir, and feel for heat before you leave.

A few simple steps help prevent a small debris burn from becoming a wildfire.
