Important things to remember:

• Fires should not be initiated before 8:00 am and should be completely extinguished before dark.



• In highly populated areas burning should be conducted from 10:00am until 30 minutes before dark. If you are burning large brush piles or conducting an acreage burn please contact your local county office of the Georgia Forestry Commission. (912) 576-5387



• Burning Permits are good only for the day they were issued! You must call each day you plan to burn to receive a permit.



• Make sure the area around your pile is clear of debris and have a water hose nearby at all times. Never leave your fire unattended and make sure the fire is completely out before leaving it.

• You CANNOT burn without receiving a burn permit!
