As it is with the first of spring comes spring cleaning and burning of leaves fallen trees, and branches. The current weather conditions are a beautiful sunny day in the Low 70's and it would seem to be a perfect day for burning if it wasn't for the wind. The wind today is a 15 Mph WSW, and gusts of 20 Mph. A wind such as this can make a small controlled burn get out of control in a hurry. So if you do decide to burn, please keep in mind a few things.
