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:
