Wildfire concerns this weekend

Click here to see the exceptions for each county’s burn ban.

What’s not allowed

Anything with an open flame that produces an ember, such as:

  • Campfires
  • Bonfires
  • Fire pits
  • Fire rings
  • Burn barrels
  • Debris burning
  • Field burning

The wind can carry floating embers away from the original fire and start a spot fire up to one-half mile away from the burning area.

What’s allowed

  • Propane/Gas grills
  • Propane/Gas heaters
  • Charcoal grills

Charcoal grill briquettes are of great concern. After use, always let the coals cool completely and douse in water before disposing of them in a metal container. The residual ash should be cold to the touch before disposal.
