What is the Firewood & Burn Barrels Request? 🔥🪵
The Firewood & Burn Barrels Request is a service available to staff departments to ensure designated work sites and communal areas have the necessary materials for warmth, ambiance, and safe burns during the event. All requests are subject to availability and approval, ensuring that resources are distributed efficiently and responsibly. Fire safety regulations apply, and departments must follow all guidelines for proper burn barrel use, fire supervision, and disposal. If your team needs firewood or burn barrels for operational or staff areas, submit your request and we’ll help you keep the flames burning—safely and responsibly. 🔥♻️
🚨 Important: It's your responsibility to pick up the firewood and burn barrels from the DPW Depot when they become available.
