Chief Tim’s Other Reminders:

Yes, it rained – a good rain! About 1 inch. And even though the burn ban was still in effect, some Klickitat County folks started burning piles and ended up getting a visit from the Sheriff’s Office, as well as having their burn doused by the fire department. They apparently didn’t remember the ban was still in effect. The burn ban has now ended in our part of the county, as of October 1. However, it has been extended in the eastern part of the county until October 15. Please be careful with fire, even after the ban is off, as all that grass dries out rapidly and will readily carry fire, especially in a wind. 

Does your chimney need cleaning? Now is a good time to do it, while the weather is good for climbing on a dry, ice-and-snow-free roof. Chimney fires can lead to a disaster.
