Supervised at all times

Fully extinguished before you leave the area

Supplied with water, a hose, or other means of extinguishment nearby

 

The following are not permitted during the Fire Restriction:

Please use extra caution. If conditions become unsafe, restrictions may change with little notice.

Be safe, be responsible, and never leave a fire unattended.
