Check out this episode of "Wednesdays with Wohrle" from Central Pierce Fire & Rescue with some helpful tips on outdoor burning! Remember, if you are planning on burning outdoors other than a standard recreational fire, contact your local fire district before you burn, as you may need to obtain a burn permit. If you are going to have a recreational fire, make sure to follow the guidelines:

• Don’t burn outdoor debris, construction debris, or garbage
• Only burn dry season firewood, manufactured logs, or charcoal
• Make sure the fire is 3 ft wide by 2 ft tall maximum, located in a designated fire pit, and at least 25 ft from any structure
• Make sure someone is tending the fire at all times, and has a way to extinguish it located near them
• If the fire becomes a nuisance with a neighbor who has health problems, you then need to put the fire out
