Safety Tip of the Month
November 2024

The leaves have been blown off the trees with all the wind lately which means you will be soon grabbing your rakes to make piles to burn. Here are a couple reminders to keep our community safe from accidental fires this fall.

First of all you need to check wind direction and speed before you light your fire. Do not burn if the wind is blowing the embers toward any building or other flammable items. In addition be a polite neighbor and do not allow your smoke to make someone else’s house unpleasant. Wet leaves and grass only smolder and smoke, they very rarely burn efficiently. We have people with breathing difficulties and we do not want to create a medical emergency due to smoke. It is against City ordinance to have a fire that causes a nuisance to others. If we get a call and we will put your fire out and our water volume can make a mess in your lawn.

Secondly, always have a garden hose or buckets of water handy while you attend to your fire in the event it does begin to spread. Keep in mind our fall was unusually dry, which raises the risk of fire spread.

Please be safe when cleaning your yards. We appreciate your efforts looking out for your neighbors and being safe.

Your Goose Lake Fire Fighters want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!!
