fire. 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 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

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.
If you would like to meet Merlin or any of his
friends, please visit us at:

State regulations prohibit the
open burning of any material
that creates dense smoke or
noxious odors.
• Escaped debris burns are
costly — State law requires the
proper clearing, building,
attending and extinguishing of
open fires any time of year.
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.

vention, including campfire
safety, use of motorized equip-
ment, and fire-resistant land-
scaping can be found on Keep

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

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.
C&M Stables will provide
members with the tools neces-
sary and offer instruction on
