INC NEWS - Luminary Ban in City: Hold On for Official Word

[Ronnie Griffin]

Dear Mike,

With respect between the County and City Fire Marshall officials, my 
community supports the luminary ban decision by our Durham County Fire 
Marshall.  Even if the City officials decide to permit luminaries, it was my 
understanding that each homeowner would be responsible for ensuring the fire 
safety and fire prevention fronting their property.  This may have always 
been valid but these are very dry and dangerous conditions.

The Garrett Farms community will honor the Durham County luminary ban.

Let's not play politics.  You have many other vital matters requiring your 
attention. This situation, in my opinion, is another example of our City 
Administration being late and poorly communicating.

Respectfully,

Ronnie Griffin

North Garrett Road Committee
