Ban vs. Band
I believe the fire association means burn BAN, not burn BAND. As I thought about this, though, I realized that a band made up of firemen would he aptly named Burn Band. Bahahahahha!

It's/Its
This from the description of the update for the Prose with Bros app. In the second line, the wrong form of its/it's has been used.
The apostrophe is used here to make a plural. Tsk. Tsk. Merriam-Webster accepts CAPRIS as an acceptable plural form. ChaCha, which I do not consider an expert source, says there is no plural form of CAPRI and that one should use CAPRI PANTS for the plural form. Either way, the apostrophe is incorrect.
Misplaced Modifier
The problem in this sign is the placement of the word DOWN. I think it would be best placed after the word KEEP. Placing it after COST might also work. In its current location, the meaning is confusing. Are we to avoid running down the park, or are we to try to keep costs down? This one is in the showers at Arkadelphia, Arkansas' Aquatic Park.

Run-on
Personifying the toilet is entertaining. A period after "Please help me out" would help me out by correcting the run-on sentence between what should be two imperative sentences.
