...Elevated Fire Danger Today...

Strong southwest winds gusting up to 30 MPH will combine with
warm temperatures and low humidity 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 and do not carelessly discard
cigarettes.
