 Would you rather pay $650 or $66 for a smart phone? Simple. With the Appalachian Advantage plan, pay less upfront and then just a few dollars more every month. Better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless. As the full fire season kicks off, Pikeville Fire Department wants to remind us the safety behind this year's burned ban. Thursday we spoke with Public Information Officer Nick Fleming about steps you can take before lighting that match this year. Well, I'll just start off by saying that our fall fire season kicks off October 1st, runs till December 15th this year. And that just means that we don't want any burning after 6 p.m. 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., the likelihood of a fire progressing into the hillside and catching unwanted material is likely, just where the humidity is down and the direct sunlight will have everything a little bit more dry. As humidity is low throughout the fall season, Fleming says managing fires is harder and recommends burning natural items. Yeah, well, obviously if we do have a wildfire situation, it can cause structures to possibly get involved, house fires, people's property gets damaged, things like that. We just ask that you burn materials 150 feet away from any hillside if you're burning your trash and obviously observe the burn ban and not burn till after 6 p.m. Pikeville Fire Department also recommends burning items in an enclosed space and making sure fires are fully put out before leaving an area unattended. The burn ban begins October 1st and ends December 15th. For Mountain Top News, I'm Drill Chorjall.
