...INCREASED FIRE DANGER FOR THE WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA BETWEEN
11AM AND 5PM TODAY...
THE COMBINATION LOW HUMIDITY AND GUSTY WINDS WILL LEAD TO AN
INCREASED RISK FOR ADVERSE FIRE BEHAVIOR TODAY, ESPECIALLY
BETWEEN 11AM AND 5PM. THE HIGHEST RISK AREA IS GENERALLY ALONG AND
WEST OF THE I-85 IN THE SOUTH AND I-95 FOR THE NORTHERN HALF OF
THE AREA.
RESIDENTS AND VISITORS ARE 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.
LASTLY, REMEMBER TO OBEY LOCAL BURN BANS. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT
WILDFIRE DANGER, BURN RESTRICTIONS, AND WILDFIRE PREVENTION AND
