Public Safety Announcement: Open Burning Advisory

Due to ongoing drought, high temperatures, low humidity, and dry vegetation, our area is at an increased risk for wildfires.

Please avoid ALL open burning at this time, including debris, brush, and leaves. Even small fires can quickly become dangerous under current conditions.

Help keep our community safe:
• Do not burn outdoors until conditions improve
• Properly dispose of smoking materials
• Avoid activities that create sparks (welding, equipment use in dry grass)
• Report any smoke or fire immediately

While this is not currently a burn ban, conditions are being closely monitored.

Your cooperation is critical in preventing wildfires and protecting lives, property, and natural resources.
