As the weather warms and we are all starting to clean up our properties remember that there is a burning ban in effect until May 14th. Fires spread quickly at this time of year due to the lack of green vegetation and the abundance of dry leaves and grasses. So make sure you don't try and burn any of the excess debris that is lying around from the winter.
Once the ban is lifted on May 15th Joyce Grant, the Town Clerk, will be issuing burn permits from her office in Town Hall. For more information go to the DEC website at: http://www.dec.ny.gov/press/80920.html
