The fire department has stated that all burn permits will expire on June 30th.  At that time all outdoor burning will be banned, with the normal exception of “a small recreational fire”.  “A recreational fire may not be more than two feet in diameter, located within a six-foot diameter clear area.” Please don’t leave any fire unattended.  We have had issues in the past with unattended fires getting out of control and we were lucky to get it under control before any serious damage occurred.

Also, private fireworks were made illegal by a voter referendum in 2012.  At this time only professional fireworks displays are legal in San Juan county.

A fire on our island would be awful – remember, it is really dry on our island.
