A carelessly discarded cigarette, whether dropped on the ground or tossed out of a vehicle window, can easily start a fire.    Caution should also be used when cooking outdoors.  While the current burn ban does not prohibit outdoor grilling, it does require that the cooking take place in a contained grill that has a lid.  Firefighters say not to leave any outdoor cooking operation unattended.<\/p>\n<p>While some areas of East Texas have experienced sporadic rain showers in the past few days, it has not been enough to cause the burn ban in Smith County to be lifted. Tyler residents are reminded that, in addition to the current burn ban, outdoor burning is typically prohibited within the City of Tyler year-round. The Fire Department also wants to remind citizens to remain aware of common medical issues often seen during hot weather.  Heat related conditions such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke are serious and area residents are encouraged to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated.  In case of emergency, call 9-1-1.  For more information regarding fire safety, you&#8217;re asked to contact the Tyler Fire Marshal\u2019s Office at 903-535-0005.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TYLER &#8212; The Tyler Fire Department wants to remind area citizens to remain cautious during these continuing dry conditions.
