FIRE PREVENTION

and

SAFETY

As the weather get warmer, we are all thinking of yard clean-up.

Many plan to burn the debris that Old Man Winter left behind.

If you chose to be one of these, please use caution and follow these simple suggestions.

1. Never burn when it is windy!

2. Keep the size of your fire small!

3. Stay with your fire and have the tools ready to control it should it spread!

4. Notify the Fire Dispatch Center ( 240-313-2910 ) that you will be burning!

REMEMBER.

You are responsible for any damages and costs if your fire get out of control.

This includes damage to the forest.
