We are seeing an elevated fire danger. Even with recent rainfall we are still experiencing drought conditions. These conditions mixed with warm temperatures, low humidity, and gusty winds present an elevated risk of spreading fires. Although the nice weather makes it tempting to get out and do outdoor activities, please be mindful that fires and get out of hand quickly. Burning brush, fire pits, and even BBQ grills can start a fire that spreads quickly. Please exercise caution.
