Some tips to keep in mind to prevent fires:
- To reduce the risk of escaped fire, wait to burn yard debris. Do not start a fire before checking weather conditions and getting a burn permit at Michigan.gov/BurnPermit. Permits are required statewide. Northern Lower Peninsula and Upper Peninsula residents can get permits online; elsewhere, contact your local municipality or fire department.
- Be careful when using all-terrain vehicles, lawn mowers or other outdoor machinery. In dry conditions, heat from a lawn mower or the exhaust pipe of an ATV can ignite dry grass. A trailer chain dragging on pavement can create sparks that set grass ablaze.
- Never leave any fire unattended, even for a moment. Make sure all fires are extinguished before leaving the area.
- Learn more about specific fire danger by region and find fire prevention tips.
In addition to the use of safe burning practices, it remains important to continue social distancing of 6 feet or more when working outside with others to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
