If spring cleaning in your yard has yielded piles of sticks and brush, be sure to call for a burn permit before the end of April. Starting May 1, a burn ban is implemented for 54 Georgia counties including Pike and surrounding counties. The Georgia Environmental Protection Division's Open Burning Ban lasts until Sept. 30 and prohibits the burning of yard debris in addition to the year-round state ban on burning household garbage.

Thank you Lt. Henderson. If a small pile of sticks gets out of hand I'm sure you will come out on your new areial ladder truck and save us all. Yep, remember we in Pike County do not want to make the air polluted in Clayton and Fulton County.

Sorry Danny Chief, but I will continue to burn even after May 01. Did you know the ban exempts burns when people are using the fire for cooking. So I will keep a hotdogs close by just incase your tee-shirt wearing heros come by.

July 4th we are having a bon-fire too.

You must respect Fire Chief Danny Henderson. He is doing his job. If you burn after May 1 you will get a visit before the judge. Most of yous peoples just do not understand how tough it is to be a professional Fire Chief. You light it we fight it.

Have you considered a brain transplant? You and Danny should get married.

Didn't the professional fire chief lose his job as firefighter for not responding to a call?

#3.2.1 anonymous red shirt on 04/29/10 at 10:47 AM

Yes he was a fired LT. but Parrish Swift made him a Executive Chief. He was going on a stray dog pickup with the laddertruck and crew of 6 and could not respond to the fire call. House burned down but the stray old yeller was saved.

Pike Patriot,

JC you gotta get more friends. Danny needs to look for a real job and you are giving him the hopes that PC is a real job. Also, you are wrong about the burn ban. If someone burns during this time frame all the PCSO & FD can do is ask them to extinguish it. IF and only if they become repeat offenders they "MAYBE" issued a citation.

Commerical burn violators fall under different guidelines and that is through the EPA. pass the intel to your buddy Danny Chief.

Looks like Lt. Henderson will have to start polishing his own nozzel. Parrish is going to have to find employment and insurance elsewhere. Sorry LT. get one of your redshirts to polish it for you, I know you will miss the clown.

#5 Debbie on 04/30/10 at 04:40 PM

Huh, can you say nozzel on this site?

#6 Gotta match? on 05/01/10 at 10:19 AM

Lt. Henderson and all your cronies, stuff your burn ban right up your pumper trucks. What are you going to do, fire me because I can't make a U-turn with my laddertruck. Henderson you are an apprentice wearing a hat that is to big for your melon head. Parrish Swift will pay for giving you $18,000, Steve Marro already has!

Maybe 22 year Lt. Henderson was depending on being Chief in DeBary Florida. You know, Marro and Parrish Swift blew smoke up Hendersons rear and his smoke detector did not go off. In the end(no pun intended)the taxpayers shoveled out $18,000 for nothing.

I says "Can I Get A AMEN to That?"

#8 Patriot of Pike on 05/02/10 at 07:21 PM

I am tired of yous people bashing Chief Henderson. He is a Saint. St. Danny. He has done more for Pike County than any other human being. He is the smartest, most dedicated, most responsible, most educated professional for the job. If you were to blog these bad things on some other site I would DELETE you. Stop it and Stop it NOW!!!!!!

Just because he is like Parrish and can't hold down a real job don't hate him. Many little guys wanna be firemen when they grow up. He is living the dream. Be happy for him. Be happy that chief, the CM and BOC crammed a unlawful fire tax down our throats. We are better off for that. Please go watch Backdraft and Ladder 49 and see how dangerous the job is. Then go blog on a real site that supports real tee-shirt wearing heroes.

#9.1 Question on 05/04/10 at 02:09 PM

I thought Danielson was a woman. Now I'm all confused. Who was Dawn Danielson, code enforcement? Was it Sandy Dickerson that came here from ClayCo as Marro's planner? This is worse than a soap opera or Bud Abbott with who on first.

#10 Concord Resident on 05/04/10 at 02:43 PM

What? He's on second. Who? No, who's on first. What's on second.

#10.1 rm 124 Comfort Inn on 05/05/10 at 08:39 AM

Don't know who, where or what's on first or second. I'm running out of quarters and ice. What's room service number?

#10.1.1 Sandy on 05/11/10 at 01:52 PM

Time to quit knocking Fire Cheif Henderson and JC. Look at your new ISO rate and you will see how much they reduced your homeowners insurance.
