Before you burn
Before lighting a fire ensure you are properly prepared, aware of the conditions and following open burning regulations:
Establish a fuel break around your burn or fire guard around your campfire.
Ensure someone is always monitoring the fire so it doesn’t spread beyond its intended size. At least one person equipped with a fire-fighting hand tool must monitor the fire at all times.

The Emergency Notification Team will be initiating the yearly test of the Emergency Notification System at 9:30 AM on 15 April 2023 to all Anarchist Mtn and Sidley Mtn residents’ phone numbers that have been submitted.
