🎶SWEET CAROLINE… BUM BUM BUMMMM! 🎶

Good times never seemed so good because after what feels like six years, three marriages, and a custody battle… TODAY IS FINALLY A BURN DAY! 🙌
That burn pile you’ve been staring at every morning is finally getting what it deserves. The goal today is for your burn pile to disappear… not your property, your eyebrows, or your spot on the family holiday cards.
HAPPY BURN DAY, YUMA COUNTY, stay safe and hydrated!

Good Morning Yuma County and Happy Saturday 😊

Alas, dear Yuma County… the answer remains NOT TO BURN.

Though thy burn pile doth sit upon thy property, staring at thee with great disappointment, the weather hath declared: “Nay! Thou shalt not light that pile!” The winds are restless, the heat is merciless, and the humidity hath overstayed its welcome. Stay safe, stay hydrated, and may Mother Nature eventually show us some mercy, Yuma County! 💦

Good Morning Yuma County and Happy Wednesday 🐪

Well… the answer is STILL no…

Today is NOT a burn day. In fact, it’s 115° hot — the kind of hot where your burn pile is probably begging you for shade. Your sweat has sweat, your deodorant has officially surrendered, and walking to the car feels like a cardio workout. Stay safe and hydrated Yuma County!
