Tires afire

By Billie Owens

A caller reports tires burning on property located at 3788 S. Main St. Road. A Sheriff's Deputy is requested to the scene along with a brush truck from the Town of Batavia Fire Department.

Burning tires and other toxic materials is just plain wrong. Fires like that release hundreds of times more pollutants than landfill incinerators. Also, they can harm people with respiratory problems.

We hate to turn in our neighbors for burning things like tires, furniture, plastics, but are they thinking about the rest of us by trying to avoid paying for proper disposal?
