Multiple brush pile burns violate burn ban law in Erin

Tri-Community Volunteer Fire Department is currently on the scene of multiple brush burn sites right across from cr 509 off of 252 in Erin.

The call came out at 11:41 Wednesday morning.

As we reported yesterday, we are still under burn bans even though it has rained. The penalty for breaking it is $500 per violation.

Below is the link to yesterday's article on the ban as it concerns rain.

Is it worth $500 to you?
