(Greensburg, IN) – The Greensburg Fire Department reminds residents that open burning of leaves and yard waste from fall cleanup is prohibited in the city limits.
Firefighters say wet leaves do not burn; they smolder and create large amounts of smoke, which is a respiratory irritant to those with asthma or COPD.
GFD says they will extinguish any yard waste fires in the city.
Firefighters ask you to keep the community safe by properly disposing of yard waste and avoiding the risks associated with open burning.
