Drown the pile with water, stir the coals, and drown again, repeating until the fire is dead out. Stay with the fire until it is completely out. Monitoring a debris burn continually from start to finish until dead out is required by state law, to ensure that any escaped sparks or embers can be extinguished quickly. Go back and recheck old burn piles, as they can retain heat for several weeks and then rekindle when the weather warms and wind begins to blow. • Never use gasoline or other accelerants (flammable or combustible liquids) to start or increase your open fire. Every year, 10 to 15 percent of all burn injuries treated at the Oregon Burn Center in Portland are the result of back- yard debris burning. • Burn only yard debris — A A burn pile is less likely to escape control if these simple safety tips are followed: • Call before you burn — Burning regulations are not the same in all areas and can vary with weather and fuel condi- tions. If you’re planning to burn, check with your local ODF dis- trict, fire protective associa- tion, or air protection authority to learn if there are any current burning restrictions in effect, and whether a permit is required. • Know the weather forecast — Never burn on dry or windy days. These conditions make it easy for open burning to spread out of control. • Clear a 10-foot radius around your pile — Also make sure there are no tree branches or power lines above. • Keep your burn pile small — A large burn may cast hot embers long distances. Small piles, 4x4 feet, are recommend- ed. Add debris in small amounts as existing material is con- sumed. • Always have water and fire tools on site — When burning, have a charged water hose, bucket of water, and shovel and dirt nearby to extinguish the ...need a friend? Meet Merlin Do you believe in magic? One look at me and I’ll have you under my spell. My name is Merlin and I am a little shy around people, but if you’re patient and wait for me I will come around and let you pet my fl uffy self. I like to play. When the laser light comes out that’s when I let loose; I really go for it. Mostly I like to just hang around, literally. I love cat trees and just kicking back and letting my hair down. I am great with other cats. They often look to me for comfort and support or for just a cool dude to hang with. And that I am.

A first-time citation carries a $110 fine. If your debris burn spreads out of control, you are responsible for the cost of fire suppression and very likely the damage to neighboring proper- ties. This can range from a few hundred to tens of thousands of dollars. More tips on wildfire pre- vention, including campfire safety, use of motorized equip- ment, and fire-resistant land- scaping can be found on Keep Oregon Green’s website at www.keeporegongreen.org how it is done. For some, grooming and saddling are some of the best parts of riding. There will also be a fall Riding Club session beginning in September that will run for through December. More information about the fall session will be available in August. The Riding Club is open to riders age 18 years or older, and no previous riding experi- ence is necessary. For more information or to sign up for the summer Adult Riding Club, stop by C&M Stables, 90241 Highway 101, north of Florence, or call 541- 997-7540. n May is Wildfire Awareness month and the ideal time to reduce the excess vegetation around your home that could pose a wildfire threat. As you begin spring clean- up, the Oregon Department of Forestry and the Oregon Office of State Fire Marshal urge you to consider chipping or recy- cling your yard debris. If burning is the only option to dispose of woody material, fire officials urge landowners to follow safe burning prac- tices. “If you burn debris, use common sense and follow safe- ty rules,” said State Fire Marshal Jim Walker. “This can prevent most wildfires caused by burning debris and keep lives and property safe.” Escaped debris burns are the leading human cause of wild- fire in Oregon, particularly in the spring and fall when people think it is safe and permissible to burn. In 2016, backyard debris burns that escaped control resulted in 143 wildfires burn- ing 145 acres at a cost of near- ly $225,000 to suppress. “On a windy day, a debris burn can easily escape control and spread rapidly if not close- ly watched,” said Walker. With the success of its recent Adult Riding Club, C&M Stables will continue the program with a new summer session. The program includes a 2- hour ride during each of the months of June, July and August. The 2-hour rides will follow the trail and beach, with a 30-minute orientation before the first ride. Members who are interested in learning how to groom and saddle their horses as a part of the experience are welcome to come 30 minutes before each ride.
