Vernon Fire Rescue is warning all members of the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce of a recent string of fires in the community.
“As a result of the situation, businesses and non-profits are asked to lock their dumpsters and to remove all combustibles away from their buildings, including pallets,” Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce staff wrote in a release.
Vernon Firefighters Local 1517 posted on its social media page about two incidents of fires its members had to deal with on Wednesday.
“A busy night with these dry conditions, a small grass fire and a shopping cart/power pole fire. All were quickly extinguished with no damage done to personal property,” the post read.
