As last year, dry grass, passing trains and roadside fires pose a <br />continuing hazard to your Pine Plantation. <br /> <br />The City of Ramsey Fire Warden, and City of Ramsey Fire Chief recommend that it would be <br />prudent to conslruct a plowed or dozed or graded fire break inside your south property line. <br />This should be at least 50 feet wide up to 100 feet wide cleared to bare earth. This would <br />demonstrate an attempt to manage and lessen risk at a Iow cost. Fudhermore, correct <br />managemenl practice for conlrolling fires in Pine Plantations would include 1rimmin9 low <br />branches, clear cutting interior fire breaks, removing dead trees to decrease fuel, and renewing <br />fire breaks around existing stockpiles of dead, cut or dozed trees prior to utilization/disposal. <br /> <br />The DNR Cambridge Office is available to detail and clarify fire risk management <br />recommendations for Pine Plantations. <br /> <br />Thank you for your attention to 1his matter. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />CITY OF RAMSEY <br /> <br />Bruce Bacon <br />Environmental Specialist <br /> <br />Bruce Hoeke <br />Fire Chief <br /> <br />BB/BH/jmt <br /> <br />DNR .
