...INCREASED FIRE DANGER FOR CENTRAL AND INLAND EASTERN VIRGINIA
AND INTERIOR NORTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA FROM 11 AM TO 7 PM EDT
SUNDAY...
THE COMBINATION OF RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES IN THE 25 TO 30
PERCENT RANGE, DRY FINE FUELS, AND WIND GUSTS UP TO 15 MPH WILL
RESULT IN AN INCREASED RISK FOR THE RAPID SPREAD OF WILDFIRES
THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS CENTRAL AND INLAND EASTERN VIRGINIA, AND
INTERIOR NORTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA.
EVERYONE IS URGED TO PROPERLY DISPOSE OF CIGARETTE BUTTS,
MATCHES, AND ANY OTHER FLAMMABLE ITEMS IN APPROPRIATE CONTAINERS.
ADDITIONALLY, EXERCISE CAUTION IF OPERATING ANY EQUIPMENT THAT
COULD CREATE SPARKS, AND KEEP VEHICLES OFF OF DRY GRASS. MOST DRY
GRASSES, DEAD LEAVES, AND OTHER TREE LITTER COULD EASILY IGNITE
AND SPREAD FIRE QUICKLY.
A STATEWIDE BURN BAN ISSUED BY THE NORTH CAROLINA FOREST SERVICE
IS CURRENTLY IN PLACE. ALL OPEN BURNING IS PROHIBITED UNTIL
FURTHER NOTICE.
