Recreational burning is not to <br />be used for disposal. <br />Recreational fires must consist of <br />clean dry wood, producing little detect- <br />able smol(e, odor or soot beyond the <br />property line; conducted with an adult <br />tending the fire at all times. Respect <br />weather conditions, neighbors, burning <br />bans, and air quality so that nuisance, <br />health or safety hazards are not created. <br />The Ramsey Fire Department <br />suggests a 50 foot minimum distance <br />between the fire site and any structure <br />or vehicle. If unable to obtain this <br />distance, in no circumstance shall a fire <br />be closer than 25-feet to any structure <br />or vehicle. <br />Burning times are Monday through <br />Friday from 6:00 pm to 6:00 am, Satur- <br />day, Sunday and national holidays from <br />12:00 noon to 6:00 am. <br />A recreational fire site is an area of <br /> <br />no more than a 3-foot diameter mea- <br />sured from the inside of a fire ring <br />or non-combustible border. Burning <br />Barrels are prohibited. <br />Disposal of larger quantities of <br />brush, trees, etc. requires an Open <br />Burning Permit available through <br />the Fire Department. A $25 applica- <br />tion fee is charged for the permit. <br />Any person conducting an open burn <br />without the necessary permit shall be <br />required to extinguish said fire and <br />may be cited and prosecuted under <br />Ramsey City Ordinance #92-03 (a <br />misdemeanor). The person may also <br />be charged the cost of fire suppres- <br />sion services from the city of Ramsey <br />Fire Department at the rate of $300 <br />per hour plus any other costs incurred <br />by the city. <br />Please call the Fire Department at <br />763-427-4452 if you have any ques- <br />tions or concerns. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />Free Car Seat <br />INSPECTIONS for <br />Anoka County <br />Residents <br /> <br />Safe Kids Anoka County offers <br />several car seat clinics throughout <br />the year for Anoka County residents <br />to have their car seats inspected by <br />trained technicians.
