ODF Officials Offer Tips to Burn Responsibly during Spring Clean-Up Season

As we head into the spring clean-up season, the Oregon Department of Forestry wants to make sure rural residents are burning their debris responsibly.

ODF officials have offered some tips that will help keep you and your neighbors safe as you dispose of yard debris and woody materials with fire.

Call your local burn control number before you burn and check weather conditions.

Clear at least a 10-foot circle around your fire and keep it small.

Have water and a shovel nearby in case the fire escapes containment.

Have a cell phone handy in case you need to call for help.

Stay with your fire until it's dead out.
