🚨 Drought conditions are expanding across southern Illinois! 🚨

The latest U.S. Drought Monitor shows Moderate Drought (D1) expanding across much of southern Illinois. With dry crops, dry vegetation and leaves beginning to fall, the risk of fires spreading quickly is increasing.

🔥 Help prevent a fire by taking a few precautions:
🚫 Limit outdoor burning, especially on dry and windy days.
🚬 Properly extinguish and dispose of ci******es. Never toss them out of a vehicle or onto dry vegetation.
🍂 Be mindful of dry leaves and grass that can easily ignite.

A small spark can quickly turn into a big problem. Stay fire safe and help protect your community!

After a quick drive through town, it looks like we missed the worst of the weather. With that being said, if you live in town Clay City, check on your trash can. Many in town are blown over!
