Fire Weather Watch This Weekend
The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Fire Weather Watch for Saturday due to more anticipated gusty winds up to 30 mph and low relative humidity. Elevated to near critical fire weather conditions are possible into early next week. Any fires that develop could be difficult to control and will likely spread rapidly, according to NWS. A series of Red Flag Warnings from NWS have been posted over the past few weeks due to similar conditions. Please continue to use caution with anything that could be considered an ignition source outdoors. Here are some tips to help prevent the spread of a wildfire:

  • Avoid activities that could cause a spark or flame.
  • Properly dispose of Cigarettes (do not throw them out of your vehicle).
  • Check trailer chains to make sure they do not drag on the ground.
  • Avoid driving or parking cars on grassy areas.
