We had 4 fire responses. Two of those minor cooking fires.

Our fire relief association gave a very generous donation to that cause. For that we were asked to be in the parade that welcomed them home so we had the ladder truck out there with about 4 other departments and were part of that experience. It was a lot of fun and very rewarding for those that attended. They had over 200 veterans on those buses so I think it meant quite a bit, and I estimated the crowd in Waconia at over 1,000 that night and it was probably 10:30 at night so it was pretty, it was a pretty good showing.

Citizens allow people to burn leaves and rubbish and things like that on their yards because people get concerned about fire. Up until again this last week we base our permit burns on the DNR. The to burn. Some of the bigger burns are obviously problematic and with for unnecessary things but just to remind the general public that just because you own a home with th that I can stand for questions.
