FIRE SAFETY TIPS:

Report fires early by calling 911; don't try to put out a fire by yourself.
Avoid outdoor burning until conditions improve. Burn permits for debris burning are currently suspended in many counties.
Operate equipment (chainsaws, off-road vehicles, lawnmowers, etc.) early in the morning or late in the day to avoid sparks at peak burn hours.
Secure dragging trailer chains to avoid creating sparks.
Never operate drones/unmanned aircraft over or near fires – it endangers the lives of pilots and firefighters and interferes with fire suppression operations.
