We are here to provide a service, but the more we run the more it costs taxpayers.

You should burn very cautiously. If you're burning your trash off, for example in a 55-gallon drum, the big thing is to keep a screen over it and watch for any embers that pop out.

It's not just luck. The homeowners, farmers and ranchers are doing what they're supposed to do.

A fire needs three things to survive: fuel (like weeds or dry grass), oxygen and a heat source. A lot of grass fires are preventable.

You can't be stubborn. You can't try to run the ball at all costs.

This program is effective and strictly monitored. Once again this service does not cost the taxpayers a dime, it is 10 dollars to the offender.
