| Spring Burning Remember, public education is an important part of firefighting. With the rash of grass & brush fires over the last few weeks lets remember to educate the folks igniting controlled burns that are getting away. A careless match can destroy not only property, but animals as well. Deer, quail, pheasant's, and other animals are starting to have little ones. Large fires can reduce game populations for several years. Please remind County Residents to be careful! |
