Lebanon Responds To A Vegetation Fire In Lacomb - 06/01/23
Lebanon Fire District responds to a grass fire in the 39000 Block of Lacomb Dr that burned over an acer. The crews were able to quickly extinguish the fire before it was able to reach any structures or timber. Lebanon responded with 5 apparatus and 11 personnel to help extinguish the fire.
The fire was started by a burn pile that was left unsupervised for a brief period. Although burning was permitted today throughout Linn County, it is important keep a watchful eye when burning yard debris. Today’s winds and the long dry spell have contributed to the fire spread, even in green grass.
It is important to have fire safety in mind when burning yard debris piles. Always keep the area around the burn pile clear of tall grasses and brush. Also make sure to have a water source ready when burning such as a garden hose or buckets of water, and never leave the fire unattended.
