Campfire Safety

A roaring fire is both a success and a responsibility. It is your job to properly maintain and extinguish your campfire so that future campers can do the same.

Maintaining Your Campfire

As you're enjoying your campfire, remember these safety tips:

• Once you have a strong fire going, add larger pieces of dry wood to keep it burning steadily
• Keep your fire to a manageable size
• Make sure children and pets are supervised when near the fire
• Never leave your campfire unattended
• Never cut live trees or branches from live trees
• Extinguishing Your Campfire

When you're ready to put out your fire and call it a night, follow these guidelines:

• Allow the wood to burn completely to ash
• Pour lots of water on the fire, drown ALL embers, not just the red ones
• Pour until hissing sound stops
• Stir the campfire ashes and embers with a shovel
• Scrape the sticks and logs to remove any embers
• Stir and make sure everything is wet and they are cold to the touch
• If you do not have water, use dirt. Mix enough dirt or sand with the embers. Continue adding and stirring until all material is cool. Remember: do NOT bury the fire as the fire will continue to smolder and could catch roots on fire that will eventually get to the surface and start a wildfire.

REMEMBER: If it's too hot to touch, it's too hot to leave!

Don't burn dangerous things! Never burn aerosol cans or pressurized containers. They may explode.

Never put glass in the fire pit. Glass does not melt away, it only heats up and shatters. Broken slivers of glass are dangerous.

Aluminum cans do not burn. In fact, the aluminum only breaks down into smaller pieces. Inhaling aluminum dust can be harmful to your lungs.

It's important to know local rules and regulations before you build any kind of fire. For more information about fire rules and regulations in Delta Township visit the link below.

Delta Township requires a burn permit for all burning within the Township. To apply for a burn permit, click the link below.

Summer Lawn Maintenance Reminder

With all the rain, it's hard to squeeze in those rare times when you can mow the lawn, but as things dry out this is a friendly reminder that residents are required to keep lawn length to a height no greater than eight inches in length on average across a property.

Properties not in compliance will be mowed by the Township or its agent at a cost to the property owner. The minimum charge will be in effect for all properties mowed by the Township. Properties requiring more than one hour of mowing time will be charged the minimum rate plus the additional rate per 20-minute increment outlined below.

The above schedule depicts the minimum charge in effect for all properties each time the property is mowed by the Township or its agent.

The Township works hard to be proactive in its enforcement, however, residents can report violations here.

* It is assumed each property will be a minimum of one hour for violation mowing. An additional $30 will be added for each 20-minute increment over one hour for violation mowing.
