Caution Urged When Burning Outdoors

Lake area firefighters continue to urge caution when burning outdoors. Osage Beach Chief Jeff Dorhauer says, all too often,even those who are careful with open burning can cause a natural cover fire which is one of the most dangerous types of fire to fight and can cause other major problems as well…    

 

 

The same precautions for open burning apply no matter what time of the year it is – have a water source nearby, do not leave your fire unattended, and call your local fire district first to see if open burning is being allowed for the day.
