Please remember to file a new burn permit for the 2016 year. If you plan on doing any burning in 2016, please file one BEFORE you start to burn. These permits are good for all of 2016 and you only have to file one a year, not every time you burn. All 2015 permits will no longer be valid after December 31, 2015. Thank you!

We have been receiving calls reporting telephone calls with people asking for personal information, bank account information and needing to send money to relatives.
Calls have been received from:
--Publisher’s Clearing House

--People claiming to be calling for a Magistrate or a Grand Jury regarding a Federal Criminal Offense
--People requesting a money order number so they can give you vehicles that they claim you have won.
These phone calls are scams, if it seems suspicious DO NOT GIVE any information to the caller. Ask for a call back phone number and call them back to see if it is who they are claiming to be.
The IRS and the Federal Justice System do not contact people via telephone.
Always remember the key things regarding scams:
1. If you didn't enter, you didn't win
2. If you have a lawsuit or other legal issues pending you will get notification via certified mail or served to you by an official, whether it is a law enforcement officer or a civil process server
