Spring Wildland Fire Season is Here!
Often, this time of year, we get a rash of wildland fires due to bouts of warm temperature and high wind. This year is no exception. As the light fuels are very dry, and greenup has not occured, a wind driven fire can spread rapidly and dangerously. If you've been reading the news - you know that, south of us, there have already been a couple of relatively big fires.
Please be extra careful right now with any ignition sources - including:
- Smoking
- Chainsaws
- Welding
- Driving offroad in grass
- Campfires
There is NO slash burning at this time - due to conditions.
Also, agricultural burns such as ditches and feilds are not allowed in our area.
