Burn Barrels

Burn Barrel Specficiations

New! All burn barrels are subject to local burn suspensions as well as restrictions and closures. Penalities may apply for unsafe burning.

All burn barrels are subject to spot inspection by Division of Forestry Area Prevention staff or their representatives.

Use of an approved burn barrel does not relieve the individual of responsibility should the fire escape as a result of negligence. Anyone starting a fire is responsible for that fire until it is completely out.
