▲ Why this matters

A brush fire near Todd burned for nearly seven hours early Monday, threatening ten structures before crews contained it. November is when brush fires move fastest, and the crews fighting them are already worn down from weeks of storm cleanup and fallen timber scattered across the high country. If you live near Todd or anywhere close to dry brush and trees, clear your property before you burn anything. Know where your water source is, and know it cold.
