Please contact the AFD if you plan this type of burn so that we are aware of it
Considerations when burning fields or ditches:
-
Wind speed/direction.
-
Several small burns are safer than one large burn.
-
Direction of fire spread.
-
Access/ roads.
-
Material to be burned.
-
Buildings in area of burn.
-
Utilities in area of burn ( power poles, propane tanks).
-
Firefighting tools on hand including water supply.
