Wind Causing Fire Calls to Rise

 

As more people start burning property and brush this time of year, the number of fires the local departments has to respond to rises. Because of a couple windy days, that number have been significantly higher. Gravois Fire Protection District’s Chief, Ed Hancock, says it’s pretty easy to avoid.

On Sunday, Hancock says they responded to a fire that totaled a home and burnt around fifteen acres, as well.
