CAPE CORAL, Fla.– Cape Coral rescinded the burn ban on Friday. Officials still ask residents to be careful with bonfires and cooking fires. The flame should be 25 feet from any structure and should not be any taller than 2 feet in height. You should also always have a source to put the fire out, nearby. Recreational fires should never be used for trash. The Cape Coral Fire Department also asks that smoking or lit materials are never thrown outdoors, even from a car window. Cars should continue to be parked off of the grass. The post Cape Coral rescinds burn ban appeared first on NBC2...
