I certify that:

	Prior to burning, I will call the hotline or visit the website to check the daily burning restrictions 1-888-WIS-BURN (947-2876) or dnr.wi.gov keyword "FIRE."
	I will only burn clean untreated wood, clean non-recyclable paper products and vegetation. I have considered other means of disposal such as composting or recycling.
	I will not burn garbage or anything that is recyclable. This includes, but is not limited to: plastic; shingles; wire; metal electronics; asphalt; painted or treated wood; rubber or oily substances; or structures of any kind (barns, sheds, homes, etc.).
	I will attend my burn at all times and make certain it is completely extinguished and cold to the touch before leaving.
	I will comply with local ordinances, which may be more restrictive than state law.
	I am not burning waste generated by a business or commercial entity.
	SAFETY MESSAGE: If my burn escapes my control, I will dial 911 immediately. Please note: forest fires can result in death or cause great bodily harm.
