    Fire bans and farmers

    What the heck? do farmers think fire bans don't apply to them? Saw 5 or 6 fires going today within a couple of miles of us - burning sloughs, old bale piles, old yard sites. Ridiculous.

    Burning anything is always a worry, at least to me anyway, but in dry windy conditions it's not worth it, and if there is fire bans on they apply to everyone so not sure what guys are thinking.

      Some RM's have quietly lifted their burn bans.

                    Ok just curious..
                    here within 24hrs of the fire bans being issued the First Nations start lighting fires.. every single spring . And no Chuck it is not the fault of residential schools.
                    And it’s simply a 100% fact , no paid scientific b/S paid for climate change... lol
