With Guthrie and Adair Counties still in a burn ban, there are tips from a fire fighter’s perspective that residents should know. Stuart Fire Fighter Corey Pline says that with the conditions that cause a burn ban, field fires can be especially dangerous. He mentions that dust and the byproducts of harvesting corn and soybeans can get into areas of equipment where moving parts can cause a spark, and easily catch on fire. He tells Raccoon Valley Radio that many farmers have a fire extinguisher on hand, and use them when possible, but that if fires get too large, there is something else that many will do.
