S – Space – 25+ feet between fire and woodlands

S – Space – 50+ feet between fire and structures

T – Time – sunrise to sunset

A – Attendance – Person responsible on-site until the fire is extinguished

R – Reasonable precautions – Tools/measures in place to prevent escaped fire. Some examples are: tools/measures in place to prevent escaped fire. These include continuous pressurized water source on-site; a man-made or natural barrier to contain the fire, such as bare soil, rocks, bricks, burn barrel, etc.; hand tools or fire-containing equipment on site, such as a rake, shovel, garden hoe, etc.; weather awareness – to NWS red flag warnings, High Fire Danger designation of Very High or Extreme days and other hazardous conditions, low relative humidity, high winds, etc.
