are being reminded to be a little more careful with their cigarette butts.Fire Prevention Officer Ennis Mond says crews have had to deal with several bark mulch fires in the last week.
Mond says people shouldn’t be so careless because it could spark a much larger fire, or tie up fire crews during a real emergency.
He also says smoking materials extinguished in potted plants on sundecks or near homes where fire can easily spread to the house are still a big problem.
