On Tuesday, April 15th, WFR responded to multiple rubbish fires. WFR responded to a grass fire that was being attended by the residence owner on 10th St. NW in the 1300 block, as well as multiple piles of leaves that were being burned by a resident on North Pelican Lane. Both fires were ensured to be extinguished before WFR left the scene. WFR would like to remind everyone of the City of Watertown's burn policy. Open burning is not allowed within 1 mile of city limits without a permit. Recreational fires are allowed in the City of Watertown. A recreational fire is contained in a pit, fireplace, or device capable of containing the fire . A means of extinguishment should also be readily available. Recreational fires should not be within 10 feet of a structure and should be no larger in diameter than 3 feet and no higher than 2 feet. Only commercial fire wood, cut trees, and charcoal should be burned in a recreational fire. WFR would also like to warn everyone of the dry conditions that we are currently experiencing that increase the likely hood of grass and brush fires.
