With fire danger still high, it’s important to remember how easily wildfires can start.
 With current conditions, it only takes a spark to start a wildfire.
That spark could come from equipment, a burn pile, a vehicle or improperly discarded smoking materials. Under dry and windy conditions, fires don’t need much to get started—and once they do, they can spread quickly.
Be mindful of anything that could create a spark and avoid outdoor burning until conditions improve.
Spread prevention, not wildfire.

Common Questions
Are there any state-issued burn bans currently in effect?
Currently, there are no state-issued burn bans in effect. While you may have local restrictions on open burning in your area, there is no state-issued burn ban at this time.
Can I burn outdoors?
With a valid burning permit, yes, but just because you can burn doesn’t mean you should burn. Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged until conditions improve.
