Hempstead County Judge Jerry Crane is asking all residents who plan to burn something in the next few days to use extreme caution when burning.  Despite significant rain received over the past few day, high winds have quickly dried out the top layer of soil.  Judge Crane stressed that he didn’t want to have to reinstitute a burn ban but would if fires starting getting out of control.
