..NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TODAY
THE COMBINATION OF SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST WINDS GUSTING BETWEEN 15
AND 20 MPH, RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES BETWEEN 35 TO 45 PERCENT, AND
DRY FINE FUELS WILL LEAD TO NEAR CRITICAL WEATHER CONDITIONS
TODAY ACROSS SOUTHERN VERMONT.
PER COORDINATION WITH OUR PARTNERS, THE RECENT DRY WEATHER HAS
CAUSED FINE DEAD FUELS ACROSS THE REGION TO DRY OUT. IF ANY FIRES
WERE TO START THE WEATHER AND FUEL CONDITIONS COULD CAUSE FIRES
TO QUICKLY GET OUT OF CONTROL AND BE DIFFICULT TO CONTAIN.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CURRENT FIRE DANGER RATING, ANY BURN
RESTRICTIONS, AND WILDFIRE PREVENTION AND EDUCATION, PLEASE VISIT
