Call 9-1-1.  Don't call the number above, even if you feel your situation isn't an extreme emergency.  For various reasons, there may be no one at the station to answer your call.  When you call 911, you are connected with the Sheriff's Office.  The dispatching center is manned 24 hours a day, and they do all of our dispatching.  They know where all county emergency personnel and vehicles are at all times.  The dispatchers will, in turn, contact us.

Campfires are permitted only for the cooking of food in a pit or fireproof container.  You may burn only untreated cut wood (like the wood used in your indoor fireplace) - no yard waste or trash.  Fire size must not be larger than 2 feet wide by 2 feet long.  If the smoke from your fire becomes a problem for your neighbors, the Fire Department may still be called out and you may be asked to extinguish it.  Fire must be extinguished at the conclusion of its intended purpose.
