Elm Village Safety Plan
Please print several copies of this to keep in your trailer in case of emergency.
Bear Safety Info
Air Horn Usage
We use air horns to alert each other when bears are in the area and to encourage the bears to go back into the woods. Please limit using air horns to when a bear is actually in the area. We have had issues recently with people using them for fun.
Air horns exceed the noise levels allowed by Vernon Township ordinance and therefore should only be used in case of emergency (presence of bears or other dangerous animals).
Campfire Safety Info
Campfire Rules Reminder!
- Campfires must be attended at all times and thoroughly extinguished upon completion of use.
- Campfire rings shall be a maximum of 36” in diameter and shall be maintained at no more than three (3) feet high.
- Campfires shall be used in such a manner that they will not create a hazard to vegetation, undergrowth, trees, and camping units. The burning of leaves is strictly prohibited.
- No campfires can be lit in the winter months between November 1st and April 1st when the water is turned off, this includes patio chimneys, or charcoal BBQ’s or any other type of open flame.
Due to the immense danger of potential wildfires in our community, campfire rule fines range from $200 to $500 for a first offense.
