In addition, ponds which some fire departments rely on for their water supply to fight fires are dangerously low.<\/p>\n<p>Activities banned as part of the order include:<\/p>\n<p>[list type=&#8221;black&#8221;]<br \/>\n[li]Unpermitted ignition of fireworks;[\/li]<br \/>\n[li]Camp fires;[\/li]<br \/>\n[li]Bon fires;[\/li]<br \/>\n[li]Unpermitted controlled burns;[\/li]<br \/>\n[li]Burning of yard and household trash;[\/li]<br \/>\n[li]Burning of construction debris;[\/li]<br \/>\n[li]Burning of organic debris;[\/li]<br \/>\n[li]Discarding of unextinguished smoking materials of any kind on the ground or not within an enclosed fireproof receptacle; and[\/li]<br \/>\n[li]Non-commercial burning of material other than for religious or ceremonial purposes which is not contained in a barbecue grill and the total fuel area does not exceed 3 feet in diameter and 2 feet in height.[\/li]<br \/>\n[\/list]<\/p>\n<p>The Commissioners will continue to monitor conditions and consult with Homeland Security and the Fire Chiefs Association to determine when the ban should be lifted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/headwaters\/159644.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"New trees being planted at Headwaters Park on April 25, 2013.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='5bfb35e3a69ffcf42f95575a648aab1a' data-image-id=\"6909\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/headwaters\/159644.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/headwaters\/thumbs\/thumbs_159644.jpg\" data-title=\"2013\/04\/25: New trees\" data-description=\"New trees being planted at Headwaters Park on April 25, 2013.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"2013\/04\/25: New trees\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"2013\/04\/25: New trees\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"6909\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/headwaters\/thumbs\/thumbs_159644.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/headwaters\/159621.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Geoff Paddock during a news conference to provide an update on tree replacement efforts in Headwaters Park due to the June 2012 Derecho.
