OUTDOOR BURNING

HELLO EVERYONE! JUST A HEADS UP FROM THE COLLIN COUNTY FIRE MARSHAL'S OFFICE: AS YOU ALL KNOW, IT HAS BEEN VERY DRY LATELY. THERE IS NOT YET A BURN BAN IN PLACE, BUT BURNING OUTSIDE IS NOT ADVISED. THE DRY WEATHER AND THE WINTER SEASON HAVE MADE VEGETATION EXTREMELY DRY AND PRONE TO GRASS FIRES. THERE IS POTENTIAL THAT WE WILL GET PRECIPITATION LATER THIS WEEK, BUT YOU SHOULD ALSO BE AWARE THAT AFTER A RAIN EVENT, VEGETATION (ESPECIALLY GRASS) CAN DRY OUT QUICKLY AND BE READY TO BURN IN AS LITTLE AS 10 MINUTES. THIS IS ESPECIALLY BAD, BECAUSE NOW THE GROUND IS WET, BUT THE GRASS IS DRY, SO YOU HAVE GRASS BURNING OVER FIELDS WHERE A FIRE TRUCK CAN EASILY GET STUCK. PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR OUTDOOR BURNING. ADDITIONALLY, IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE CONDUCTING BURNING OUTSIDE, BE SURE THAT YOU HAVE A RELIABLE WATER SOURCE READILY AVAILABLE TO EXTINGUISH SPOT FIRES. THE BEST WAY TO PREVENT FIRES IS TO CONDUCT YOUR BURNING WHEN THE WIND IS CALM (BUT NOT COMPLETELY STILL) AND IN AN AREA WHERE THE FIRE CANNOT SPREAD. ALSO PLEASE REMEMBER THAT WHEN YOU CONDUCT BURNING OUTSIDE, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FIRE. IF YOU FAIL TO RESPONSIBLY TEND YOUR FIRE AND IT DAMAGES OTHER PEOPLE'S PROPERTY, YOU CAN BE HELD CIVILLY AND CRIMINALLY LIABLE FOR THE DAMAGE. FOR THE CITIZENS LIVING IN THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS OF COLLIN COUNTY, PLEASE SEE THE TCEQ OUTDOOR BURNING GUIDELINES FOR MORE INFORMATION:
