A Burn Ban for open burning is currently in effect for the Bridger Canyon fire district until further notice.
Ensure Your Burn Does Not Become the Next Wildfire
Before you light up this spring, take the necessary precautions to ensure your burn does not become the next wildfire. Start by checking with your local fire department regarding any active burn bans. Obtain a burn permit, burn early in the day and check weather for afternoon or next day wind conditions. Be sure to have adequate equipment, assistance and water supply with you and always make sure the area is cold to the touch before leaving. Checking the following day is also important as stumps or roots may be holding heat that could re-ignite. If a fire does get out of control call 911 immediately.
