WILDFIRE SAFETY ALERT!!!

⚠️🔥 Stay Away from Wildfire Areas — Even After Flames Die Down 🔥⚠️

Just because fire activity appears to have slowed does not mean the area is safe. Wildfire scenes can remain dangerous long after visible flames are gone.

🚫 For your safety and the safety of firefighters, please stay out of burned areas. Hazards may include:

🌲 Falling snags – Fire-weakened trees and limbs can fall without warning.

🔥 Hot ash pockets – Hidden hot spots under the surface can cause serious burns or collapse under your feet.

🚜 Heavy equipment – Bulldozers, engines, and other firefighting equipment may still be working in the area, and operators may not see pedestrians nearby.

💨 Smoke and poor air quality – Lingering smoke can be unhealthy, especially for children, older adults, and those with breathing conditions.

🔥 Changing fire conditions – Wind and weather can quickly cause fire activity to increase again.

Please respect closures, barriers, and directions from emergency personnel. Staying away helps keep everyone safe and allows firefighters to finish their work.
