What part of NO don't you understand?

In addition to being a teacher, I'm a volunteer firefighter. Now, the county I live in is under a burn ban. This means ABSOLUTELY NO outdoor burning. We've been under this ban since 10/24 and yet we still get calls about people burning. The favorite excuse is "Well, I didn't know there was a ban." Must've been a big rock that all of these people are crawling out from under.

Then we here the other excuses. "There's no way the fires gettin' out, I've cleared all around it." Or "I'm standing right here with a water hose." Or "It just rained yesterday."

Listen, what part of BURN BAN doesn't sink into your pea-brain. This means NO, I MEAN NO burning!!! AT ALL!!!

See, this is what in-breeding will get you....
