It was being used as a staging area for linemen and first responders.
I basically mean can the cots be moved from the field to those areas that are protected or are those areas already full?

Probably tough to know answer to.

Hillsboro County Sheriff's Office, Florida, has video of the sheriff's office rescuing a 14-year old boy in flood water on their Facebook page. I couldn't post it here.

Forecast is calling for “normal” fall temps near us next week. Lows in the 30s and highs in the 60s/low 70s. Mondays low is 30 right now.
I know - looks like frost Monday night! - but it’s warming back into the mid 70s by the end of next week, and that “above normal” outlook is extending past that …

With the Polk County burn van, dows that mean I can't do a fire on my solo stove on my back deck?

Solo Stove would technically fall under the "outdoor fireplace" as it's not open burning. Up to you to decide if a good idea and what risk you and neighbors are willing to take on.

Can I use a burn pit or burn trash when there is a burn ban in my county?
A burn ban does not prohibit the following:
supervised, controlled burn for which a permit has been issued by the fire chief of the fire district where the burn will take place, the use of outdoor fireplaces, barbecue grills, properly supervised landfills, or the burning of trash in incinerators or trash burners made of metal, concrete, masonry, or heavy one-inch wire mesh, with no openings greater than one square inch.

I'd figure up on my deck its more likely my wood deck would burn down than I cause a historic fire in the neighborhood.

I just really want to light the fire and watch Brock do his magic outside tonight.

Just so you know, the poster here removed the image within about 4 minutes of you posting your request.
In spite of her abrupt, uh, introduction, the gal has a banger gallery on her web site. Weather and more...
