Increased Risk of Fire Today

Posted in: Fire Safety Updates

As we are experiencing low relative humidity, 10-15 mph sustained winds, and have copious amounts of dry ground fuels:
the National Weather Service has issued a “Red Flag” warning for our area
.

What does this mean?

A “Red Flag” warning is issued when conditions are such that a fire will spread easily and rapidly, if ignited.

“Only you can prevent forest fires!”

Dispose of smoking materials properly (smokers’ poles, buckets with sand, etc.).

Never toss a lit cigarette into mulch or into landscaped areas.

For more information, please refer to the National Weather Service’s website.
