BRUSH FIRE PREVENTION TIPS

To help prevent brush and wildfires, follow these fire prevention tips:

  • Do not discard cigarettes from moving vehicles. Use ashtrays instead.

  • When pulling to the side of the road, stay off dry, grassy areas.

  • Do not operate all-terrain vehicles on dry vegetation areas.

  • Check lawnmowers and farm equipment for properly working spark arresters.

  • Properly extinguish fires when cooking outdoors and never leave fires unattended.

For more information on brush fire prevention, please contact Volusia County Fire Services, 736-5940.
