A reminder from
the Marion Volunteer Fire Department:
The 4 p.m. Burn Law is no longer in
effect, as it ran through April 30th. It is still your responsibility to
maintain watch over any open fire you start. If you do decide to burn brush and
other debris, be sure there is little to no wind, that you are at least 300
feet away from a forest or other wooded land, and no other prohibited materials
are a part of your burn pile, such as used tires, asphalt shingles, plastics or
other petroleum based articles.
Never use gas or other accelerants to start a fire; the vapors will lie
low and may have an explosive action when lit. Never leave an open fire unattended, and
make sure it is completely out before leaving it. Click on this link for more information
