🔥 FIRE WEATHER HEADS-UP: Next Weekend and Beyond 🔥

Yesterday, our neighboring area had a large wildland fire that took EIGHT fire departments to bring under control. Thank you to every crew that responded. We're grateful for our mutual aid partners. That fire is a clear reminder that conditions right now are not good for burning, and the coming forecast has us concerned.

🌡️ THIS WEEK
Highs will be in the mid 70s to mid 80s through Tuesday, then climb into the low to upper 80s through next weekend. Afternoon humidity will drop to around 25–35% most days.

💨 NEXT WEEKEND INTO THE FOLLOWING WEEK
It's still early and the details could change. However, forecast models are starting to show stronger winds arriving with little or no rain. On the windier end of the forecasts, gusts could reach:
• Saturday: 20–30 mph
• Sunday & Monday: 25–40 mph
• Tuesday & Wednesday: possibly even stronger

Those higher winds aren't the most likely outcome, but they are realistic enough that we're watching them closely.

⚠️ WHY THIS MATTERS
Much of our area got less than an inch from the recent rain, and that was on top of an already serious drought. Add another week with little or no rain, low humidity every afternoon, and gusty winds, and grass and brush fires can start easily and spread fast.

🚫 ABOUT THE BURN BAN
Our most recent burn ban expired on October 1st. If conditions develop the way some forecasts suggest, a new burn ban may become necessary. Just because burning is allowed right now doesn't mean it's a good idea, so please use good judgment. We'll announce any new restrictions here as soon as they're in place.

✅ HOW YOU CAN HELP
• Hold off on burning brush, leaves, and trash, especially on breezy days
• Don't park or idle vehicles on dry grass
• Check trailer safety chains so they don't drag and throw sparks
• Dispose of ci******es properly, never out the window
• Keep a hose or water source handy if you're working outdoors with equipment that can spark

If you see smoke or fire, call 911 right away. A small grass fire can get big fast in these conditions.

We'll post updates as the forecast becomes clearer. Stay safe, neighbors! 🚒

All right, I know everybody wants to burn their trash, but the countywide burn ban is still in effect and it is illegal to burn. Yes it’s nice and wet this morning, but it’s going to dry out.
