We had a very successful controlled house burn on July 18.

Busy fall

   Labor Day weekend is here, which means, school and all the activities are in full swing; campers and boats are soon winterized and put away; and no more wearing white as fall fashions takeover.

Fall conference

   Here we are heading into the last month of summer, and I haven’t gotten in all the golfing I was hoping for by this time. Darn, don’t you feel bad for me? Ok, I know you don’t.

Live burn

The Hinckley Fire Department, in conjunction with Pine Technical and Community College, conducted a training burn on Saturday, June 11.
