Extreme Conditions

I was definately thinking I could realistically blog weekly but when I looked at my last, first blog I was coming upon one month! This has been a busy month.  It really started before the 4th of July with the professional fireworks displays and the local fireworks stands applying for their permits.  This process is through our Fire Prevention Bureau. Our Deputy Chief who is also our Fire Marshal, Chris Bachman inspects all Fireworks tents, stands, etc. in our district.  In addition, the professional shows put on in our area receive inspection done at time of set-up.  The phone was ringing what seemed like non-stop regarding if residents could shoot off fireworks and in our District they could but of course Mid-County had put a press release out advising against shooting off fireworks and suggesting to attend a professional show as another option.  With the weather conditions still today showing no relief the entire state is still under a no burn and now our county is on the very long list of counties deemed a disaster area due to the extreme heat and dry conditions. If that wasn't enough to keep us busy the dock issues will.  I will not go into what most of you already know but will tell you our web-site www.mcfpd.org under the Fire Prevention tab has the Dock Wiring Requirements, Dock Wiring Checklist, and Dock Application!
