Being in the 4th year of a major drought, local vegetation is extremely dry and fires can spread rapidly. Weather is forecast to be in the upper 80’s to 100 degrees in the week leading up to the 4th of July.
Please take extra precaution outdoors when using power equipment near dry grass. Ensure you have a defensible space around your home, addresses are clearly marked and visible from the street, combustible/flammable materials are moved away from your home, and your roof and gutters are clear of dry leaves and branches.

i guess Pittsburg did not get this notice. Been hearing fireworks and gunshots every night for the last 2 weeks
It’s super awesome they tell the public what to do instead of working with the public to deal with their wants. I’m looking forward to their pensions going bankrupt.
So because of laws on the books that fire fighters had no role in writing or passing, you concluded that they should be punished by losing the pensions they worked their entire career for?
You’ve got some issues, buddy.
In light of the circumstances, isn’t it common sense that people should use extra caution? Is it that you don’t have any common sense or you just don’t care because the world revolves around you?
