...ELEVATED FIRE DANGER FOR MOST AREAS IN CENTRAL VIRGINIA AND THE
SHENANDOAH VALLEY THROUGH 6 PM...
THE COMBINATION OF 10 HOUR FUEL MOISTURES AROUND 8 TO 10 PERCENT,
RELATIVE HUMIDITIES AROUND 30 TO 35 PERCENT, AND WIND GUSTS AROUND
20 TO 25 MPH WILL LEAD TO AN INCREASED RISK FOR THE RAPID SPREAD
OF WILDFIRES THIS AFTERNOON.
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
EDUCATION, PLEASE VISIT YOUR STATE FORESTRY OR ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION WEBSITE.
