YES, Many of us finally got rain!
NO, We should not burn yet. Don't be deceived.

The rain may have returned, but we are still at an elevated fire risk. Do not be fooled.
This fire was one of five that Monett Rural Fire District responded to on Friday. The burned car was from a previous brush fire, just last week.
