65 new human caused fires on Friday and Saturday alone confirms what wildfire specialists from the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation's Forest Fire Control are well aware ... that the current erratic fire behavior and drying winds continue to support documentation that the highest number of wildfires and most acres burned in one month belong to April.
Couple the present weather trend with increased numbers of families enjoying outdoor recreational pursuits during the school break, escaped legal burns occurring while homeowners hurry to meet the soon to close seasonal deadline for open burning, and an increased wildfire potential risk to homes in developments in or closer to forested lands and you'll understand why MassDCR firefighters stay alert.
ENJOY SPRING BREAK ~ HAVE FUN OUTDOORS
CLEANUP YOUR YARD ~ HAVE YOUR BBQ
BUT REMEMBER ... TO BE EXTRA CAREFUL WITH ALL FIRE
