Thursday marks the first day of spring, and as the season changes and you start your spring cleaning make sure you are keeping your home and property fire safe.

Radcliff Deputy Fire Marshal Tommy Crane says check with your local jurisdictions on outdoor burning for limbs, and limit what you are burning to what is allowed.

“Regardless of where you are, the state law prohibits burning garbage, tires, buildings, and stuff like that, so you have to remember what you’re burning,” Crane said. “Basically, branches, brush, and stuff like that is about all that you can burn.”

Crane says if you are looking to get rid of leaves and limbs, your city likely has options for you.

“The cities have different limb and leaf pickup times, and so they’ll do that stuff for you so you don’t have to try to figure out how to get rid of it, so just check with them,” Crane said.

If you do decide to conduct a controlled burn, let the authorities know ahead of time.

“Make sure that you’re calling the local dispatch in the unincorporated areas,” Crane said. “That way we’re aware of what’s going on. The local fire department, wherever it is, is able to be aware that there’s a control burn.”

Monitor wind conditions before conducting a controlled burn, and never leave a fire unattended.
