Mr. Eckert stated that he placed a notice in the "Cass County Reporter" at Casselton regarding the Commission's concern over the number of field fires in the rural areas. He first discussed the matter further with the States Attorney and was informed that legally the County cannot enforce any fire ban but can ask for cooperation in not starting any fires in uncontrollable areas. Mr. Eckert felt that the Commission should encourage as many people as possible to contact their local fire department prior to starting a fire in a controlled area so that the fire department does not send out a truck and volunteers unnecessarily. On motion by Mr. Sondrall and seconded by Mr. Eckert, the meeting was adjourned.
