Forests and Fire Information

*The use of burn barrels is prohibited*

Burn barrels are especially bad because the fires burn at low temperatures. They receive very little oxygen and produce a lot of smoke that contains toxic substances. What’s worse is that almost all of the pollutants released into the air are close to the ground where they are easily inhaled. Click the link above for more information about burn barrels.
