Please Burn Responsibly!!

With the warmer temperatures, lower relative humidity and even a small amount of wind a smoldering pile of yard waste can turn into a challenging wildand fire for firefighters.  The Grant County area is littered with grass lands and sagebrush that are characterized as light to medium flashy fuels.  These fuels pose a challenge to firefighters as a small fire can turn into a large incident within minutes.  All it takes is one spark from your smoldering pile of yard debris and now structures, livestock and even people can be in danger.  If you are going to burn please follow these        simple steps to insure safety for everyone. 

1.  Call before you burn.  Please let the MACC dispatch know that you are burning by phoning 762-1160. 

2.  Always have a water source close by and ready to be used.  (IE: nozzle on the end of your hose so that it can be turned on before you burn.)

3.  Pick a day that has low amounts or no amounts of wind. 

4.  Never leave your fire unattended.

5.  Never burn at night

6.  If your fire becomes out of control do not hesitate to call 9-1-1.  Every second you wait puts others in danger.
