Brad Fossett suggested I send you these photos I took at “the Stump”.

Brad and his nephew Kyle were kind enough to load and haul away in their two pickups this pile of used lumber and yard waste which someone had put there either Friday (after 9 am) or Saturday early.

It was stacked on top a of a large fire pit as if someone planned to have a bonfire. I notified Brad, Fire Chief for Willowbrook VFD and he quickly showed up and removed the pile to the Oliver landfill.

All of this material can be dumped free of charge at the landfill so we were concerned that the reason it was placed at the Stump was for a bonfire. Campfire ban is in effect and there is a sign near the turn onto Sawmill Lake access road that the driver had to go past to get to the Stump.

People also need to respect that this is private land and there are several signs stating so.

Those of us who live in the vicinity will continue our efforts to hopefully prevent some idiot from starting a fire.
