A series of grass fires in the northern part of the county have destroyed more than 100 round bales of hay during the past week, emphasizing the importance of take precautions against wildfire especially when Montague County remains in a ban on outdoor burning.
Emergency responders have said people are mistaken that just because we had all the snow and ice moisture things are not dry, but nothing could be further from the truth.
Montague County Emergency Management Coordinator Kelly McNabb said there were three fires between Feb. 5 and Feb. 7 where some 200 round bales burned, along with more than 250 acres.
