Vernon Fire Department urges people be careful not to spark a fire
Vernon Fire Rescue is reminding people to be cautious so they don’t start a fire.
The fire department has already responded to multiple grass, wildland and structure fires this summer, and with the ongoing hot and dry weather resulting in an extreme fire hazard risk, people spending their time outdoors are advised to be cautious.
“The risk of wildfire can change quickly, particularly when we are experiencing a steady increase in temperatures like we’ve seen the past few weeks,” Fire Chief David Lind said.
“It’s critical that everyone is aware of their surroundings, careful about the activities they’re doing outside, and if they see smoke or fire, to report it immediately.”
