Warm and Windy Weather Ahead, May 22

News release Coos Forest Protective Association.  It is going to be warm and windy for the next several days, and CFPA wants to remind people that it will not take long for fuels to dry out. It is time to start thinking about wildfire prevention with any recreation activities and debris burning you do. If you do burn please be safe as debris burning is one of the leading causes of wildfires in southwest Oregon. There are several reasons why debris burns escape control and can lead to safety concerns such as: • burning in high winds; • not having a safe clearing around the pile; • leaving a debris burn unattended; • not making sure the burn is completely out before piling more debris on the pile; • burning too large of a pile without having the necessary resources to burn safely. Always keep in mind that anytime you burn, you are responsible for maintaining control of your burn. For burning restrictions inside the city limits contact your local fire department. For more information on fire prevention you can find CFPA on the web at www.coosfpa.net or on Facebook.
