    Thanks for this info-I was wondering about Worcester. Had thought to grill out tonight but had decided against it anyway and though it's allowed. Grass looks like a sisal doormat!

  2. Thank you for being considerate 5:41. I wish everyone would take their environment into consideration. Fire warnings have been broadcasted all over the televison for days and for some reason people don't think the warning includes them.

    Sometimes I wonder where common sense and good judgement are. All it takes is one tiny spark to start a raging fire.
