Bethel Fire Departments have responded to three outdoor fires since Saturday due to inappropriate actions of people.  The Fire Marshal says the incidents involved open burning of paper adjacent to woodlands, burning large piles of brush without a permit, and fireplace ashes dumped in the woods that were still hot.  The latest was an illegal burn on Kristy Drive Monday afternoon.  When there are dry conditions there are open burning regulations.  The Bethel Fire Marshal is also reminding residents that fireplace ashes remain hot for days after being removed. They should be placed in a metal can, but if ashes are being dumped outdoors, it should be away from leaves and be wet down with water.
