SCPFD would like to remind citizens to be aware of fire danger conditions currently in place. Please join us in preventing brushfires by becoming proactive in brushfire prevention. When burning debris (as small as a campfire) you must meet requirements for setbacks. If your fire escapes, you may be liable for cost of suppression and damage to the property of others. San Carlos Park citizens are strongly advised to use common sense whenever using anything that can cause a flame or spark, and to clear the area around their home of brush and vegetation to reduce the fire risk.
