Take rubbish to the civic amenity sites - don't burn it without notifying the Isle of Man Fire and Rescue Service.
That's the chief fire officer - his concerns follow a near 'devastating' fire at the weekend, when high winds blew a small blaze toward two plastic oil tanks.
The homeowner left it unattended in Port-E-Vullen - it spread to a garage close to the containers before being extinguished by firefighters.
Kevin Groom says people should take preventative measures if they insist on burning their waste:
Framework of new Sea Services Agreement ready, says minister
Attorney General says he's stepping down
Road closures in two towns for running event this week
Six weekend ferry crossings could face disruption
President of Tynwald announces retirement
Police close Mountain road
Fuel firm says "fingers crossed" for calmer energy costs
Ring doorbells will need data protection registration - but shouldn't cost you money
