North Judson Fire Chief Issues Safety Tips about Brush Burning Season

With many residents using these nicer spring days to clear their yards of leaves, limbs and other organic debris, North Judson-Wayne Township Fire Chief Joe Leszek issued a few safety tips about brush burning at Tuesday night’s Town Council meeting.

He explained, “We’re getting into spring brush season so I just want to remind everybody to be cautious when you’re burning, don’t burn on windy days, no burning of anything man made,”

Leszek continued, “if you do have a fire it needs to be attended and no burning at night, unless it’s a bon-fire and, of course, you’re keeping it attended.”

Chief Leszek indicated that it’s been pretty quiet brush season so far this year and for the safety of citizens, they’d like to keep it that way. If you happen to spot a fire that appears to be unmonitored and out of control don’t hesitate to call 911.
