Town of Russell Responsible Burn Guidelines

The Town of Russell Board does not want to pass a Burn Ordnance which would restrict all town residents.  The Town of Russell Board is asking that you follow the guidelines listed below:

» State Law states that only wood products can be burned.  Please recycle your plastic.

» Notify your local fire department, constable, and County Sherriff Dispatcher

» Do not leave the burn unattended

» Have a water source and tools handy in case they are needed

» Be mindful of the weather forecast, especially wind

» Be mindful of your neighbors and surrounding area

» Make sure the burn is completely out before leaving

» Return and check later for any remaining smoke or embers

Town of Russell Board will work with  the Sherriff Department, DNR, and Fire Departments in prosecuting people with uncontrolled, unattended burns.
