A burn pit was lit on Friday 11/1/2024 to burn pallets that are no longer usable. The fire was put out at the end of the day and fire watch was on the fire for 24 hours after the burn was over. On the following Monday more pallets were added, the next morning the new pallets caught fire from a left-over hot coal.
