We would like to remind everyone that brush fire season is upon us. Please be responsible when you decide to burn. The law from October 1, 2014 to November 30, 2014, is no burning from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. You must also use due regard (Fair Consideration or good judgment) when burning between the hours of 6:00 PM and 6:00 AM. We have not had a rain in a while and everything is dry. Be very cautious with the size of fire you build and use extreme caution when the ground is dry. Thank you for your support of the Albany Area Volunteer Fire Department and Thank you for your cooperation.
