...Elevated Fire Danger Today...

Gusty south winds gusting up to 30 MPH will combine with
mild temperatures, low humidity, and plentiful dried vegetation
to produce an Elevated Fire Danger through early this evening. 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.
