A combination of dry vegetation, relative humidity lowering into the teens, and winds gusting between 15 to 35 mph will result in increased danger of fire start and spread today.
Please exercise caution if handling open flames or equipment that creates sparks. Dispose of cigarette buttes, matches, and other flammable materials in appropriate containers.
