🔥CHECK YOUR BURN PILES TODAY!
RECHECK YOUR BRUSH PILES CONSISTENTLY .
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE UP TO 30MPH today. With a wind shift from SW to N.
Many of you have taken advantage of the large amount of snow which is the perfect time to clear those brush piles out in the County (WITH PERMISSION). Even if you think it is out from burning previously please watch it for rekindling.
Brush piles can rekindle days and weeks after they appear to be out! Most of Kansas vegetation dries out quickly even when the ground remains soggy.
Take precautions with any outdoor burning, and continue to check and re-check your completed burns.
It takes great communication to keep our county safe.
