Local Forest Rangers Say
Spring Fire Season Coming
Another forest fire season is fast
approaching, and the N.C. Forest
Service says it wants to do its best
to make the 1991 season a mild one
in Brunswick County.
Assistant County Forest Ranger
Mitch Pullcn says high winds, low
relative humidity and warmer tem
peratures make March, April and
May the most critical months of the
year for hazardous forest Ires con
ditions.
Pullen said most local woods
fires arc caused by debris burns that
get out of control and arson. While
area residents can't do much to pre
vent arson, he said they can do
something about debris fires.
The ranger suggests county resi
dents who burn debris have tools
and water on hand to maintain a
good fire break. Also, somebody
should watch the fire at all times
until the embers arc cool.
A burning permit is required if
burning is to be done between the
hours of midnight and 4 a.m.
Permits also arc needed for any
burning to be done more than 100
feet away from a dwelling or within
500 feet of woodland areas.
Depending on where people live
in the county, Pullcn said other local
burning laws may apply. Most
towns have their own ordinances
regulating open burning.
With the area receiving more than
10 inches of rain in January and
similar weather expected this
month. Assistant County Ranger
Robert Norton said now is a good
time to do burning in the yard.
Norton said it's best to burn yard
waste before the weather turns
warmer and drier and the "threat of
wildfire increases.
For most burning, Norton said
waiting three to five days after a
rainfall gives the wood enough time
to dry out. Piled debris may take
longer to dry.
To further reduce the threat of
woods fires, Pullen said the owners
of small woodlands could improve
their lots by thinning or removing
the less-desirable trees for fuel
wood purposes.
Crooked, forked, suppressed, dis
eased and other poorly-formed trees
can be utilized as fuel wood. Pullen
said getting rid of them gives the
tall, straight trees more room to
grow.
Some of the types of trees that
make good firewood include black
locust, hickory, dogwood, black
birch, ash, beech, apple, oak, maple
and pine. Pullen recommends al
lowing the wood to air dry for six to
eight months before using it for
heating purposes.
For more information on wood
land fire prevention, burning laws
and forest management in Bruns
wick County, call 253-5297 and ask
to speak with a forest ranger.
All 36 restaurants inspcctcd dur
ing January by environmental
health specialists with the Bruns
wick County Health Department
earn sanitation grades of "A".
The specialists also inspcctcd a
number of food stands, meat mar
kets and child daycare centers.
Sanitation grades for restaurants
and food or drink stands arc based
on a system of scoring where an
"A" is given to scores of 90 percent
or better, a "B" to scores of at least
80 percent and less than 90 percent;
and a "C" for a score of at least 70
percent and less than 80 percent.
The permit would be revoked for
any establishment that receives a
score of icss than 70 percent.
