Welcome to the SILLY SEASON.
Well it's that time of year here in SC, the time of year that the days are warmer, the birds are singing, and the smell of burning brush fills the air. The temprature is in the 70's and 80's, the humidity is below 20% and the winds are blowing no less than 12 mph, gusting to god only knows, and the people can't wait to burn the brush piles they've spent all winter building. So to all my fellow FF's good luck and stay safe during the SILLY SEASON.

Texas is too big and leaves it to the counties to impose the bans. TCSS

They are hitting hard in South east Georgia. I really don't think they stop since the monster in 2007.

Gonna break 70 in West-Central Ohio Saturday for the first time this year. I am sure we are about to start seeing the idiots here. Just hope we don't start getting the BIG field fires we have in the past. I hat it when you have 2 large ones going in neighboring jurisdictions at the same time and by the time you get your 3 brush truck assigned you hear it is coming from 25 minutes away because everyone closer is alread on the way to one of the two.
