On Saturday, June 6th, a small fire was burned on the top of Burchell Hill. It is hard to believe at a time when we are being reminded and cautioned about wildfire, that people thought that it would be OK to have a little fire. There were several beer cans scattered about (not Lucky), so perhaps they put the fire out with beer.
This little fire did not create a wildfire, however, it shows us just how vigilant we need to be on our small 2,500 acre island. If you see smoke, call it in, before it becomes something unmanageable.
TIVFD made a trip up the hill on Sunday to view the site, and to post a sign.
