Trucksville Residents
Need Burning Permits
Annual spring house and yard
clean-up time has prompted
Trucksville Volunteer Fire
Chief Robert Chamberlain to
issue a warning to local re-
sidents. .
‘The warning states, “When
burning trash near your homes
this year, residents of Trucks-
ville are reminded that you
must have a burning permit,
according to Township regula-
tions.”
Chief Chamberlain added,
“Township manager Michael
Stanley will issue such a permit
at no cost. He can be contacted
at the Township Municipal
Building, 11 Carverton Road,
Trucksville.” -
The residents of the area have
complied with local burning re-
gulations in the past, the Chief
noted, and this year the fire
company is looking forward to a
‘free from fire spring.”
