Alert

High Fire Danger Due to Winds

We are getting winds 15-20 mph gusting higher and expect them to continue through early evening. Please do not conduct outdoor burning including burn barrels. The temps, sun, and wind will dry surface fuels out quickly and controlled burns can easily escape. Always confirm it is an open burning day, obtain permit, and monitor the fire at all times. We strongly encourage not burning outdoors today. 

Instructions:

Be aware of weather conditions especially windy days and do not burn.
