Murray Wood: Of Easter bunny bells and Juicy Fruit gum
For Murray Wood, Easter brings to mind grandma's practical advice about repurposing, and some of life's little lessons.
The R.M. of Corman Park has issued a complete outdoor fire ban after a grass fire caused heavy damage to a rural property Saturday.
Firefighters spent 10-and-a-half hours extinguishing a blaze near Auction Mart Road over the weekend.
The fire had started as a controlled burn, but dry conditions and high winds pushed the flames to a neighbouring property. The blaze destroyed a garage, several vehicles and damaged a home.
Corman Park announced its fire ban Monday afternoon.
The restrictions cover fire pits, burning barrels, controlled burns, fireworks and any other outdoor flame.
Barbecues and other devices using propane-fuelled flames are exempt.
The R.M. said the ban would be in effect until further notice.
