This week's Fire Line Tip

Before conducting a controlled burn, make sure you call Marion County 911's non-emergency number: 573-221-1244. Inform the dispatcher of the location of your controlled burn and the expected duration of your controlled burn. By doing this simple thing, you can avoid the fire department being unnecessarily dispatched to your location.
