...INCREASED FIRE DANGER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...

A combination of dry vegetation, relative humidity lowering into
the upper 20s, and winds gusting between 10 to 20 mph will result
in increased danger of fire start and spread this afternoon and
evening.

Please exercise caution if handling open flames or equipment that
creates sparks. Dispose of cigarette buttes, matches, and other
flammable materials in appropriate containers. Keep vehicles off

5 PM...March 1st through May 31st. Overnight burning is highly
discouraged at this time due to the risk of holdover embers
