Work, machinery and agricultural activities ignite wildfires
#00238
Spark-generating work, hot equipment and open agricultural burning can start wildfires when operations continue without controls during dangerous weather.
#00259Apply dynamic restrictions based on real-time fire danger
Automatically tighten or pause spark-generating work and open burning when local weather and fuel conditions cross defined danger thresholds.
#00260Require equipment standards, spark arrestors and hot-work permits
Control heat and sparks through maintained equipment, spark arrestors, cleared work zones, extinguishing equipment, observers and accountable permits.
#00261Provide alternatives to agricultural and residue burning
Replace avoidable open burning with collection, mulching, composting, incorporation or tightly controlled shared services that remain economically viable for landholders.
