The fire hazard rating has eased somewhat so starting Monday, early shift activities can resume.
Use of gas operated or spark generating machinery such as chainsaws, mowers, chippers, splitters, bulldozers etc. can operate from dawn to 1 p.m. and then a two-hour fire watch must be posted after the 1 pm shutdown.
Thank you all for your patience this fire season. To badly mix metaphors; We are not quite out of the woods yet but we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
If the hazard ratings continue trending down later this week, we hope to cancel High Hazard Activities restrictions soon.
There is still a complete ban on all outdoor fires in place.
Please report any smoke sightings to 911.
Fire Chief J. Caldbeck
