[AT] Burn bans

[magreer67]

I'll second that cold beer after a hard work day thing. As far as burning brush, I burn a brush pile at least once a month from March to November here in NE OH. Ive burned 3x already this Spring. Pay attention to the wind, have water available,  and use your head and the FD won't give you any trouble. I have a lot of big old trees on the property. It can just pile up during the winter months.Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

          Thank you Bobby for your service and
            stating what should be the obvious. It really isn’t all
            about me. It is about keeping YOU safe as well. The idea
            that people are cowering in fear boggles my mind. Yeah, if
            my spouse gets Covid, hell even the flu, she’s more than
            likely dead. I’m also high risk due to medication I take.
            Just being cautious. I still go to my job, as making wine is
            deemed essential in California. But I sure do all I can to
            limit my exposure to others for their safety as well as my
            own. Weighing money vs. lives is absurd. Who exactly among
            us, are expendable? The field workers are also still hard at
            it. Doing all those jobs that Americans say they want back.
            Yeah, sure. 
          Bradford.

          The burn bans were implemented for a
            number of reasons.
           
          Most fire departments also run Emergency
            Medical Services as well as typical Fire/Rescue.  With that
            being said firefighters in some areas are getting infected
            with Covid (over 50 in New Orleans) leaving fire departments
            short handed to deal with other emergencies.
           
          The smoke from these fires exasperates
            issues with breathing problems for folks that have Covid and
            other respiratory issues.
           
          It’s also about adding a layer of social
            distancing in an attempt to limit interaction with possibly
            infected people by firefighters and further short staffing
            of departments for more dire emergencies.  And of course
            lessening the possibility that an infected firefighter would
            pass on the virus as well.
           
          In my department’s case we were also
            short 4 firefighters that would have normally responded due
            to being embedded in an isolation site for a fire watch
            patrol 24 hours a day seven days per week.  
           
          Add in the bad weather (tornado’s) the
            northern part of our state has been hit with in the last 3
            weeks creating a different set of problems.  The state
            activated our Urban Search and Rescue team to respond to the
            Monroe area last week.
           
           
          So,  it’s not about exercising power or
            control, but simply and attempt to not create further issues
            with fires getting out of control and not having enough
            people to deal with it “preservation of life and property”.
           
          Hope this helps better understand the
            issues/concerns we have
