What is a Stage I and Stage II Fire Ban?
JEFFCO is pretty much the same thing. So as I was going through the construction zone today, Schaffer Crossing, There they were smoking away while standing at thier signs. I explained to the so called supervisor of the cone crew and he just shrugged. Then I explained it this way, either follow it or tell it to the judge, I will call jeffco sheriffs. They then put them out, but what did they do later.
Jeffco has one in effect too - saw it on the sign on 73 today.
I saw the "FIRE BAN IN EFFECT" sign too @ Centaur Dr just below the Smokey the Bear High to Low fire safety sign. GREAT idea, I think a local citizen attached that hand made sign. Thank you local!!
It may not be legal, but it sure will get attention and respect,
no matter what county it was placed in...hmmm... :Southpark:
