A recreational fire (wood, pellet, or charcoal) must NOT: • exceed 3 feet by 2 feet • be used for disposal • be unattended • create a nuisance to your neighbors; or • be within 25' from structures and other combustibles.

It's that time of year when we start getting calls about outdoor burning. Be sure to review and follow the requirements for recreational fires.

It's not the weekend forecast we'd hoped for😩! Air quality will fluctuate between Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups/Orange and Unhealthy (for all)/Red. It's recommended that individuals limit or avoid strenous outdoor activity. Conditions may start to improve Sun pm into Mon🤞.

(2/3) It's a reminder we are in the midst of fire season and looking ahead to a hot weekend. Be part of reducing the risk of roadside fire by: -Securing chains that may cause sparks, -do not pull off into grassy areas, -maintain proper tire pressure and vehicle maintenance.
