SPRING IS ALMOST HERE...
and along with the beautiful weather comes spring fire season, which typically lasts through March, April and May. Air is dry and winds are strong during these months; the problem is compounded by dry leaves on the ground from the previous fall. The N.C.

Stay with the fire until it is out and be sure to comply with all state and local ordinances pertaining to open burning.
