The WVDOF recently donated a Smokey Fire Danger Sign to the Grafton Fire Department, with the intent that it be installed in a prominent high-traffic area to inform residents of the current fire danger. Through the generosity of Walgreens Drugstore and the Grafton FD, the sign has been installed at a prominent location in Taylor County.

Fire Forester Jason Jones was instrumental in coordinating this effort, and was successful in getting word to the local newspaper, the Mountain Statesman that covers Taylor County.
