- (a) A fire line consisting of a strip at least 8 feet wide, cleared to mineral soil, shall be constructed and maintained around the brush dump site to prevent fire from spreading into adjacent areas. The fire line shall be located not less than 50 feet nor more than 100 feet from the burn area.
- (b) If physical conditions exist which would make such fire line construction unfeasible, the construction of the fire line shall not be required. Such physical conditions shall include, but not be limited to, hedges, swamps, marshes, roads, and ledges.
- (c) All growth, including trees, brush, and slash, shall be removed from the area inside the fire line. Slash shall also be removed for a distance of 50 feet outside the fire line.
- (d) The area inside the fire line shall be maintained so as to prevent the build-up of vegetation or flammable material which might communicate fire. Other areas, as stated in paragraph (b) of this section, above where fire line construction is unfeasible, shall also be maintained over 100 foot radius from the edge of the burn area to prevent the buildup of vegetation and other flammable material capable of communicating fire.
