...Elevated Fire Danger Today...



Strong southwest winds gusting up to 30 MPH will combine with near

record or record warmth, low humidity, and dried vegetation to 

produce an Elevated Fire Danger today. If a fire were to start 

under these conditions, there would be an increased threat of fire

spread and be difficult to control.



Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged. Use extra caution while

operating outdoor equipment around dry vegetation and do not

carelessly discard cigarettes.
