Warning Issued Politics Confined
On Fire Hazards To County Issues
Councilman Carlas Buchner, com­
missioner of public health and safe­
ty issued a warning to all residents
of Nyssa on the hazard of cheat
grass growing near buildings. Buch­
ner asked that all residents make a
concerted effort to keep the grass
cut away from all buildings to a
sufficient distance to enable the fire
department at a later date to burn
off the grass with little or no dan­
ger to buildings.
Buchner said that this danger was
particularly great this year, due to
the heavy growth of the grass and
also weeds. “The fire department
will, when the grass and weeds be­
come dry enough, bum them off,
but will not do so where there is
the slightest possibility of a build­
ing catching on fire during the
process,” Buchner said.
