Fires Set In Trees Bring Stern Warning
Monroe Fire Chief Earl Hiteshue issued a warning to hunters to stop setting fires in trees. Fire crews responded to a flame in a hollowed hickory on Yankee Road near Ohio 63, fanned by winds to 75 feet from the tree. The blaze caused no damage but led to the tree being sawn to inspect for danger amid a dry spell. Local officials urged restraint on rubbish and campfires as tinder-dry fields and woods raise wildfire risk statewide.
