Despite recent moisture and cooler temperatures, wildfire danger remains across Nebraska. As grasses go dormant and dry out, standing dead vegetation provides plenty of fuel for a wildfire to ignite and spread, especially during windy conditions. October is still Fire Prevention Month, so hunters are reminded to stay vigilant. Check fire danger before heading out, park vehicles away from dry grass and be mindful of potential ignition sources. Stay safe, prevent sparks and help protect Nebraska's hunting lands. Nebraska Emergency Management Agency Nebraska State Fire Marshal
