FIREWORKS

In my last post, I noted that recreational fires are being discouraged due to the dry conditions.  I need to add the shooting off of fireworks to that list.  We have had a couple of grass fires (resulting from fireworks) in the last few days that could get quite dangerous if not caught and controlled right away.  Please consider your neighbors homes (if not your own), and refrain from shooting off fireworks until we get some rain.
