SPRING FIRE SEASON STARTS SUNDAY

(02/28/2015)

West Virginia's spring forest fire season starts Sunday. From March 1 through May 31, you can only burn outside from 5 p.m. to 7 a.m. Any other time is prohibited during these three months. According to a news release, state law requires a ring or safety strip around outdoor fires to keep the fire from spreading into the woods. This safety strip must be cleared of all burnable material and be at least 10 feet wide completely around the debris pile.
