The same here in Texas....there is a burn ban...BUT, they didn't close down the fireworks stands...does NOT make sense.
My son is kind of excited...he is a flight instructor and manages a flight school, here in Arlington..and the Texas Air NAtional Guard have parked a hugh transport plane used to fight fires at his airport...and the guard will be on stand by from there all weekend.
I am sure he is gonna want to go up with them if they go...
A couple of weeks ago, there was a fire at that airport..and 8 planes from a different company burned up...but when the news people got there...they interviewed my son for the 10 o'clock news...
I WOULD have been proud, except he didn't call and tell me he was going to be on...he called everyone but ME! LOL
I'm sure he's really excited about the opportunity but I hope for y'all's sake he doesn't get to go up. Not that I want him to miss the opportunity, I just don't want to see any more fires.
My son probably wouldn't have called me either if he'd been interviewed even though I'd have been ready to record the interview for posterity.
