Great tips from Oregon State Fire Marshal for outdoor burning! - Check with your local fire agency for any restrictions. - Burn only yard debris, never trash. - Always have water and a shovel on hand. Stay by the fire until it is out. - Make sure your burn pile is completely out before leaving. - Call 9-1-1 if the fire escapes control. #getreadyrogue | #believeinfiresafety | #fireseason2024
