• Fires, which are contained within cooking and heating appliances, and which are fueled by propane, natural gas, charcoal briquette or wood pellets
• Residential fire pits and safe wood campfires contained by non-combustible material, with a metal mesh screen with openings no larger than 13 mm.
• Fires contained within industrial facilities for operational purposes.
• Catalytic or infrared-style heaters.
• Open flame oil devices (eg. Tiki torches)

Residents are reminded that all previously burned brush piles and/or permitted debris piles must be buried under ground and covered with soil when burning is complete to ensure the fire cannot re-kindle.

Off-highway vehicles and farming equipment can start wildfires – INSPECT YOUR EQUIPMENT frequently to ensure hot spots are free of debris and make sure mufflers and spark arrestors are working properly.

Conditions will be monitored. We will update the public on any changes. 

This FIRE RESTRICTION will remain in effect until further notice.
