Please explain why the burn ban was lifted We have had no rain and fire control resources are very limited
Do we have to wait for a disaster ?
There is no reason to lift the burn ban until
we have had lots of rain ?
When I read the banner, I thought the full ban for burning was lifted. I think this refers to camp fires in approved sites, charcoal and gas grills and such.
I don’t think burn permits are available until October.
Please clarify.
