Over the last few days our department has assisted land owners with controlled burns. The assistance of the fire department not only helps ensure the fire remains under control, but also gives us the opportunity to train our new members in a less dangerous environment to be prepared when we are needed.

If a landowner is planning to conduct a Prescribed Burn, please follow these steps:

1. CONTACT JEFFERSON COUNTY DISPATCH; on the day of the burn at 785-403-0108 to get a burn permit and verify there is no burn ban on the day of the burn.

2. NOTIFY YOUR NEIGHBORS; to prevent them from calling for an emergency response.

3. PLAN FOR THE SMOKE; Know what direction the wind is blowing, and what or who is in that direction. Be aware of flying sparks and embers.

4. HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE; each with enough tools, equipment and water to control the fire.

5. BE PREPARED; in the event the fire gets out of control, know who to call. 911 - Jefferson County Dispatch. Non-emergency - 785-863-2247.
