• Outdoor burning remains prohibited within city limits.
• Only natural vegetation grown on the property may be burned.
• Burn piles must not exceed 10×10 feet in size.
• Land clearing debris may not be burned.
• Maintain at least 50 feet from structures or property lines.
• Fires must be attended at all times until fully extinguished.
• A shovel, water supply, and tools for controlling fire spread must be readily available.
• Clear tall grass, dried brush, or other vegetation within 50 feet of the burn pile.

The Fire Marshal’s Office reminds residents that although the burn ban is lifting, safety remains paramount. Always check current fire danger levels and follow all fire safety regulations before burning.
