Despite the ban on burning in Rutherford County, some residents are not obeying the laws as there have been several similar blazes.
Units from Rutherford County Fire Rescue along with Kittrell Volunteer Fire Dept., Almaville Volunteer Fire Rescue Department, and Christiana Volunteer Fire Department extinguished the fast burning field while deputies with the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office controlled traffic.
