Precipitation for March was near normal.
We have had another dwelling fire that was started by ashes from the fireplace being stored improperly. The fire caused extensive damage to the home. PLEASE place ashes from the fireplace or stove in a metal container and store them outdoors, away from combustible material for at least two weeks before disposing of them.
If you must burn, do it safely and in accordance with our fire control ordinance Ð in an approved container and burn only leaves and waste papers. Also, be considerate of your neighbors who are downwind of your fire.
Respectfully submitted,
Frederick C. Alston, Fire Marshal
