UPDATED BURN PILE RULES:  MAY 2013

The burn pile is located on the unpaved road at the end of Fawn Ridge.  Proceed down Fawn Ridge to the end of the street and you will see an unpaved road.  Drive slowly down the unpaved road as it is very rough and uneven.  Drive until you see a brush pile in the clearing to the left.  Be careful, the road ends in the river.  If you hit water you have gone too far!

ONLY trees, shrubs, leaves, and other wood products should be placed on the burn pile.  Stack brush up, not out flat.  Do not place material near the road.  The pile burns best when it is stacked high. 

NO PLASTIC CONTAINERS

NO GARBAGE BAGS

NO GLASS

NO HARDWARE/CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS, SUCH AS DOOR KNOBS, HINGES, OR METAL OF ANY KIND

Construction waste (boards ex) should not be put in the burn pile because they may contain nails, staples, etc. or covered/treated by chemicals (ex: paint or treated lumber).

Please do NOT put trash bags in the burn pile
