During a FIRE ADVISORY, all burning and fireworks permits are suspended, and burning is banned, with the following exceptions:
- Indoor household fireplaces
- Incinerators (for farm and acreage use)
- Burning barrels
- Camp stoves (properly attended)
- Barbecues (charcoal briquettes, propane, or natural gas)
- Wood pellet grills

Although this is not a Fire Ban, the County is asking residents to exercise additional caution and remain vigilant when conducting any burning permitted under the Fire Restriction. Residents are encouraged to thoroughly soak the area surrounding open fire pits with water before use. If conditions worsen, the County may impose a Fire Ban at any time.

Ensure fires are not left attended at any time, ensure your fire is out, soak it, stir it, soak it again!
