Repost: The fires have started up aleady for this year. Six new fires and it is only April. Felt it was time to repost this message from last year.

Are you a smoker? Do you know a smoker? Share this with them. Here's the deal. Don't throw your cigarette butts out of your car. Don't throw them on the ground. Would you take a burning coal from a barbecue and toss it out where it can start a fire? Would you walk around dropping lit matches everywhere? You shouldn't do this any time of year but during the hot, dry weather it is critical that you don't do this. Forest fire season is in full, early swing and we are low on water. There is a large patch of burnt grass on our highway right between the lanes. Use some common sense people. Don't even get me started on the dirty mess part of this issue.
