Hello everyone,
A few of you have asked about the fire truck that came down Treetop Ct. last night, so let me share what I know. It appears the neighbors at 12200 Treetop Ct were burning yard debris in a large bonfire they started in the early evening and the flames were shooting pretty high around 8:00 PM – 8:30 PM and someone called the fire department. Don’t know who called the fire department, but whoever called we can all thank them. It was a really big fire and a bit dangerous as nobody was out watching the fire, but appeared to come out of the house once the fire department arrived.
It appears this fire was intended to burn all night with nobody attending it, this is not a good thing for our seasonally dry wooded lots.
Just an FYI:
It’s against the law to burn a fire of any size unless you have permit and these are hard to come by per the Fire Department. Burning a fire can result in a fine of $1,000.
Last year we bought a small fire pit and checked with the Fire Department to see what was considered a legal fire for our new fire pit. Per the Fire Department, the only fire you can have is a small contained fire in the residential fire pits (much like they sell at home furnishing stores). Anything else is considered illegal and taken very seriously by the Fire Department.
