February through May
is considered our "dry" season, and with that comes the
added threat of wildland and other fires. Brush fires
and grass fires are a natural occurrence in the wildland
areas, but there are many things we can do to reduce the
risk of starting these fires and reducing the threat of
damage to homes and property here in an urban
environment such as Miami.
- Keep trash in enclosed receptacles.
- Do not drive vehicles on dry lawns. Sparks from the
exhaust can ignite fires on parched grass or fields.
Keep a means of mitigating fires in your vehicle and
home, such as a fire extinguisher.
- Don't toss cigarette or cigar butts on the ground. If
you do, you must make sure that the tip is completely
snuffed out.
- Don't toss cigarette butts from your car. Fires along
our roadsides have been sparked by cigarettes.
