CODE OF BEHAVIOR WITH OUTDOOR FIREBRANDS
1. Burn household trash only in a metal or cinder block container on an area cleared to bare soil.
2. Burn fields and brush piles only in the late afternoon when the wind is low and after a 5-foot fire-break has been plowed around the field.
3. Break matches and crush smokes before discarding.
4. Use car ash tray for smokes and used matches when traveling in a vehicle. Don’t pitch them out the window.
5. Clear the area around a warming or camp fire before lighting it.
6. Extinguish all warming and camp fires when you leave. Be sure all fires are Dead Out.
