ELEVATED FIRE DANGER THROUGH THIS EVENING

Low to very low humidities, very dry fuels, and breezy conditions
will combine to result in Elevated Fire Danger through this evening. Winds will subside and humidities will gradually recover after sunset.

Remember that Kentucky regulations make it illegal to burn
between the hours of 6 AM and 6 PM within 150 feet of a woodland or brushland during the Spring Forest Fire Season that runs until April 30th.

We would like to encourage our citizens NOT TO BURN during this period. These conditions make; even the smallest fire, of more danger of getting out of control. Spread is VERY QUICK once it gets out, making it harder to bring under control. We hope you understand this situation.

Low to very low humidity, very dry fuels, and breezy conditions will combine to result in elevated Fire Danger through this evening. Winds will subside and humidity will gradually recover after sunset.

🔥 KNOW YOUR FIRE CLASSES

Not all fires are the same—
and using the wrong extinguisher can make things worse.

At home, most fires start small…
but they grow fast if not handled properly.

That’s why understanding fire classes matters:

🧯 Class A – Wood, paper, cloth
💧 Best controlled by cooling

🧯 Class B – Fuel, oil, flammable liquids
🛑 Controlled by smothering

🧯 Class C – Electrical equipment
⚠️ Use non-conductive agents (never water)

🧯 Class D – Combustible metals
🔧 Requires specialized extinguishers

🧯 Class K – Cooking oil & grease
🍳 Use wet chemical extinguishers

💡 Fire extinguishers work by removing one or more elements of fire:
Heat • Fuel • Oxygen

🚒 Firefighters don’t just fight fires—
they understand fire behavior.

And the right knowledge can protect your home and your family.

PLEASE take heed to this and do not burn today! Even a small fire can spread rapidly with the winds we’re having.

Very low humidity, combined with gusty southwest winds and dry fuels will result in High Fire Danger between 10 am and around sunset today.

As this is approaching us, this is the perfect time be getting prepared. This has the potential of being SEVERE, so please stay aware of the storm as it approaches.
