It's that time of year again. We are gearing up for carnival and could use your glass dishes for our dime pitch game. So if you're looking to declutter, please drop them off at the firehouse. We don't have to be there, you can leave them in the hallway between us and the bank! We greatly appreciate it!

Public Safety Announcement: Open Burning Advisory

Due to ongoing drought, high temperatures, low humidity, and dry vegetation, our area is at an increased risk for wildfires.

Please avoid ALL open burning at this time, including debris, brush, and leaves. Even small fires can quickly become dangerous under current conditions.

Help keep our community safe:
• Do not burn outdoors until conditions improve
• Properly dispose of smoking materials
• Avoid activities that create sparks (welding, equipment use in dry grass)
• Report any smoke or fire immediately

While this is not currently a burn ban, conditions are being closely monitored.

Your cooperation is critical in preventing wildfires and protecting lives, property, and natural resources.

Outdoor Burning Caution 4/16

With today's forecasted high temperatures, winds, and low humidity, conditions are ideal for fires to spread rapidly and become dangerous. Remember that the 4 PM Burn Law is currently in effect, which prohibits open-air burning before 4:00 PM each day. With these conditions, outdoor burning is strongly discouraged even after permitted hours. If you see an unattended fire or emergency, call 911.
