How wide is your driveway? In order to get a fire truck down your driveway it MUST be at least 12 feet wide with no obstructions. This could mean the difference between losing your home to a fire or having it rescued by the fire department. Make sure your driveway meets these qualifications. To learn more about how you can protect your home and property from fire visit the Firewise Program at www.firewise.org.

Growing a more natural shoreline. In some cases just mowing less along the shore will allow more native plants and trees to flourish. You can speed up that natural restoration process by planting native trees and shrubs. Keep it simple and start with a small area and see how it grows on you. Consider planting a few native shrubs for wildlife. For ideas of what to plant check out the “Top Ten Native Plants for Wildlife” brochure at burnettcounty.com/NaturalShoreline or contact the Burnett County Land and Water Conservation Department for a copy.
