THE GRASSLAND FIRE DANGER INDEX WILL REACH THE LOW CATEGORY
THIS AFTERNOON. FAVORABLE WEATHER CONDITIONS OR A HIGH MOISTURE
CONTENT OF GRASSES, AND OTHER DRY ORGANIC MATERIAL ON THE
GROUND, INDICATE THAT THE PROBABILITY OF A FAST MOVING FIRE IS
LOW. OUTDOOR BURNING UNDER THESE CONDITIONS CAN USUALLY BE
WITH REASONABLE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, BUT SHOULD BE MONITORED.
OUTLOOK FOR WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...THE GRASSLAND FIRE DANGER INDEX
WILL REACH THE LOW CATEGORY.
THE GRASSLAND FIRE DANGER PRODUCT REFLECTS FIRE DANGER FOR NATIVE
