Summary

The July 1966 Beaver Beacon warned that the fire hazard was very high and that burning permits were not being issued. It directed residents to use safe, covered burners and avoid lighting the dump.

Evidence and limits

This is a newspaper safety notice, not an enforcement record or complete legal interpretation.

Sources

  1. Warns that no burning permits were being issued during a very high fire hazard, directs residents to covered burners and the dump, and states that unauthorized dump fires could bring fines and suppression costs; it is a newspaper safety notice rather than an enforcement record.
