Winter Outdoor Burning |
January 2, 2020 | |
A Happy New Year from us here at Blacksburg Volunteer Fire Department. The winter months bring about the need for yard cleaning; this can include yard debris burning. The winter months are also wildfire season in South Carolina. A small ember can travel up to a mile away and ignite a wildfire. Low humidity, dry fuels, and slight winds is the perfect remedy to ignite a potentially devastating wildfire. When burning, keep these helpful tips in mind: Of course, bonfires are a wonderful activity this time of year. Follow the same tips, and keep your get-together safe. Let's start the year off fire safe and Fire Wise! |
