The Oregon Department of Forestry is reminding people who do debris burning to do so responsibly.  ODF statistics show that over 70 percent of wildfires are human caused, with debris burning being the number one cause.  ODF’s Jessica Neujahr says only yard debris should be burned, not common trash.  Never burn on dry or windy days, always have fire and water tools nearby, clear a 10-foot fuel-free buffer around the pile, keep the piles to a maximum of four feet by four feet, stay with fire until it is cold, and go back and check burn piles for heat over several weeks.  Also check with your local fire authority and get necessary permits before burning.
