Basic Minnesota Uniform Fire
Code states:
Outdoor burners cannot be within 15 feet of any
residence building Or located within six feet of any
other structure such as garage or shed
Before burning check your city ordinance in regards
to bonfire restrictions… Some require permits while
other do not
It is wise to contact your local fire department to
eliminate needless false alarms
Watch the weather: to windy or dry do not
bonfire…use common sense
Do not burn leaves, paper, combustible materials in
your bonfire pits
Hickory, oak or other hardwood make the best fuel
To safely manage your fire, you should have a tool
like the HoeJoe that cradles hot logs and allows you
to add wood as well as adjust your fire at a safe
distance from the fire
Keep a bucket of water handy to douse the fire…and
again use your HoeJoe or other bonfire safety tool
to stir out the ashes. |
