During the fall/winter months from 16-Oct-2015 until and including 14-Mar-2016 brush fires are allowed 24 hours/day. It is no longer mandatory to consult the Burnsafe website before starting a fire.

Super Moon Lunar Eclipse is happening on 27-Sep-2015.
This weekend, the Moon will provide a big, bloody show for those looking up into the night sky. A total lunar eclipse — sometimes referred to as a blood moon due to the Moon’s dark red glow — is scheduled to begin at 9:11pm ADT on Sunday.
[Watch the Lunar Eclipse live here …]
But this eclipse is particularly special, because it’s happening on a night when the Moon will also be a supermoon. That’s when a full moon occurs on the same night of the Moon’s perigee, or the time when the Moon is closest to Earth. The Moon has an elliptical orbit around our planet, so its distance from Earth doesn’t stay the same. When at perigee, the Moon looks up to 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than it does when it’s at apogee (its farthest point from Earth).
