🚨 TAT FIRE MANAGEMENT – FIRE WEATHER WATCH

A Fire Weather Watch has been issued for Tuesday, May 26, for areas including Four Bears, Mandaree, and western McKenzie County due to strong winds and low relative humidity.

⏰ Timing:
11:00 AM CDT – 10:00 PM CDT

🌬 Expected Conditions:
• Southeast winds 20–30 mph
• Wind gusts up to 40 mph
• Relative humidity as low as 20%

🔥 WHAT IS A FIRE WEATHER WATCH?
A Fire Weather Watch means that critical fire weather conditions are possible. Weather conditions are favorable for rapid wildfire growth, but confidence is still developing on exactly how severe conditions may become.

If conditions worsen or become more certain, the Fire Weather Watch could be upgraded to a Red Flag Warning.

Under these conditions, any fire that starts can spread rapidly and become difficult to control.

⚠️ FIRE SAFETY REMINDERS:
• Avoid outdoor burning
• Do not park vehicles on dry grass
• Properly dispose of ci******es
• Secure trailer chains to prevent sparks
• Avoid activities that create sparks in dry vegetation
