Because of a new fire code passed on April 15, Pine-Strawberry Fire Department firefighters can now issue a citation for those in violation of fire restrictions. âWe are not cops we are educators,â said Pine-Strawberry Fire Department Fire Marshal Rick Barnes. âWe try to solve a problem with minimal intrusion, we will educate and warn first.â Violations are a Class 3 misdemeanor. If cited a person can face up to a $500 fine or 30 days in jail. Barnesâ goal is to avoid issuing citations. The vast majority of concerned calls come from and about guests and visitors using an Airbnb, VRBO or family cabin, Barnes said.
