Raging brushfire in Western Kankakee County

It is that time of year when the fields are drying out after winter and it’s also the time when brush fires occur and sadly the majority of which are started carelessly. Please be sure to extinguish tobacco products before disposal.  Find out your local ordinances in regards to burning leaves or yard waste. Don’t burn in windy or excessively conditions.  If you do burn be sure to have water, extinguisher and shovel nearby.  Our first responders will thank you.
