Forest Fire Wardenand State Forest RangerYour local Forest Fire Warden, Fire Department, and the State of NewHampshire Division of Forests & Lands, work collaboratively to reducethe risk and frequency of wildland fires in New Hampshire. To help usassist you, please contact your local Forest Fire Warden or Fire Departmentto determine if a permit is required before doing ANY outsideburning. Under State law (RSA 227-L:17) a fire permit is required forall outside burning, unless the ground is completely covered with snow.The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services also prohibitsthe open burning of household waste. Citizens are encouragedto contact the local fire department or DES at 603-271-1370 orwww.des.state.nh.us for more information. Safe open burning requiresdiligence and responsibility. Help us to protect New Hampshire’s forestresources. For more information please contact the Division ofForests & Lands at (603) 271-2214, or online at www.nhdfl.org.Both in terms of the number of fires, as well as the number of acresburned, this past fire season was the smallest since records have beenkept. Extensive rainfall virtually all season long kept the fire dangerdown. When fires did start they were kept very small. The largest firefor the season was only 5.4 acres which occurred in Littleton on May2nd 2011. There was however a small window of high fire danger inthe northern third of the state during July when little rainfall wasrecorded. During this time there were a number of lightning startedfires which are fairly unusual in New Hampshire. As has been the caseover the last few years, state budget constraints have limited the staffingof our statewide system of 16 fire lookout towers to Class III orhigher fire danger days. Despite the reduction in the number of daysstaffed, our fire lookouts are credited with keeping most fires smalland saving several structures due to their quick and accurate spottingcapabilities. The towers fire spotting was supplemented by contractedaircraft and the NH Civil Air Patrol when the fire danger was especiallyhigh. Many homes in New Hampshire are located in the wildland urbaninterface, which is the area where homes and flammable wildlandfuels intermix. Several of the fires during the 2011 season threatenedstructures, a constant reminder that forest fires burn more than justtrees. Homeowners should take measures to prevent a wildland firefrom spreading to their home. Precautions include keeping your roofand gutters clear of leaves and pine needles, and maintaining adequategreen space around your home free of flammable materials. Additionalinformation and homeowner recommendations are available atwww.firewise.org. Please help Smokey Bear, your local fire department,and the state’s Forest Rangers by being fire wise and fire safe!76
