<p>About 5 years ago I had to call our fire department when I had a
baler fire. I really felt bad about having to get them out on
Sunday afternoon. They worked hard in the heat to get it put out
quickly. I had to get the 3 yd loader out to cover up one bale
that just would not go out. 2 hours work and never got a bill for
it. I just would not want to cause them any unnecessary work..
This is Tornado season here, and we just lost a life in the
southern part of the state last night with a tornado. These guys
have enough work without me causing them any more...<br>

And if injured fighting fires, the extra impact on local hospitals and staff.
Plus with potentially added smoke from fires, controlled, loss of control, man made or naturally caused, the additional smoke can exacerbate health issues for those already with respiratory problems.
Have already had numerous “controlled” burns get out of control with loss of structures and vehicles.

Mike,
This virus has caused many people and officials to try and demonstrate that they have power. Much of this is based on fear - many times fear that if they do not do something voters will accuse them of being a poor leader. There is also a great divide amount voters, several who live in a similar fear wanting government to protect them at any cost. Many care little about the lives of others, there jobs, employment, etc.
One example of this absurdity is people in Michigan cannot go to there vacation homes based on the reasoning that the extra fuel used at gas pumps will increase exposure for health care workers who needed to fuel up.
Maybe this time the reasoning is that the extra diesel used to light fires will increase exposure to the few health care workers driving diesel vehicles. Maybe someone is against global warming, and wanting fires like this to stop In an effort to reduce global warming. In these times little things like this can spread exponentially just like a virus.
Hopefully this will minimize soon and many things will get back closer to normal. I am afraid that this can be a test to see how far many of our freedoms can be reduced.

Hi all,
Like all of you we are dealing with the Covid virus here is Michigan,
and the State fire Marshall has put in place a burn ban for the entire
state. I know there a few volunteer firefighters on the list, so I have
a question for you. Why put a burn ban in place during the wettest time
of the year? I've been clearing brush all winter with the intent on
burning it in early spring. Now I have all this brush that I need to
burn, but will apparently have to burn it when conditions are dryer,
giving way to uncontrolled spread. Any thoughts to the reasoning behind
this?
