Recreational fires include the following:

• Campfires
• Barbecues
• Cookouts

These recreational fires must be no larger than 2 feet high by 3 feet across and cannot last longer than three hours. Clean, seasoned firewood or the equivalent is the only combustible material permitted for these types of fires.

As a reminder, the burning of leaves, garbage or other waste products is prohibited in Jackson Township.

Residents who choose to use a propane grill for their outdoor activities should follow these simple safety tips:

• Check the supply hose from the LP tank to the grill for leaks
• Clean excessive grease from the cooking surface
• Move the grill a safe distance away from your home when in use
• Remember to shut off the LP tank valve when not in use
