Brush or other flammable materials within 40 feet of each waste tire unit or within the fire lanes specified in Table I of this section should be noted. The fire lanes must be measured for compliance with the minimum width required in Table I. Any objects obstructing access to the fire lane such as boulders, parked vehicles, heavy equipment, or any other material that would restrict safe entrance and exit for emergency vehicles should be noted. No activities involving the use of open flames,blow torches or the storage of other highly flammable materials, including tire inner tubes should occur within 40 feet of a waste tire pile. Note: Avoid standing close to or climbing on waste tire stockpiles in order to avoid being seriously injured by slipping/falling tires due to unstable stockpiles.
