Best Time To Burn??

It is not difficult to see how the recent fires in Southern California caused so much damage and spread so quickly.

The fires you see here were begun in slash piles initially covered with snow--you can see snow everywhere yet the fires burned as if it were the middle of summer. Most developers who have clearing to do make piles like these and burn them in the winter snow. These flames make one realize it is always best to check with the USFS for safe burning dates.

If you are headed to Shaver Lake this weekend for the tree lighting, to buy a Christmas tree, or just to enjoy Santa's Village, you can stop by Coldwell Banker and pick up a printed list of all the events beginning this weekend and continuing through Christmas.

Come see us!
