This is a repost of a blog from last summer that did not get noticed, It is timeless information that hopefully will be helpful to you now as well.

It's been a dry year in many parts of the country, so be careful of fires this year.

In this part of the country most of our wild land fires occur in the spring just after the snow melts and ends when the grass greens up in May, this year however the fire season has been extended for a much longer period of time.

Be careful out there these fires can be very expensive.

If you do know of anyone who has had the unfortunate occurrence of a fire this year, take photos, call your insurance agent and then call a good forester with extensive experience in appraising trees of all types and all types of appraisals.
