Members of the Fowler Volunteer Fire Department report they have responded to numerous grass fires already this season. Assistant Chief, Clayton Cash, cautions people to be very careful when burning.

The Town of Fowler also issues burn permits within city limits for trash fires. Please contact town hall at 263-4461 for more information.
