Prior to a burn, you must report your intent, location, and what you are burning, and the duration of the burn to the Dispatch office. Any controlled burns must be out before dark, supervised continuously, and must not create a traffic hazard. For the duration of the burn, winds may not exceed 15 mph. A tractor and disc should be on location and manned during the controlled burn.
