Please remember that there is a countywide burn ban and all outdoor burning is prohibited. These conditions mean that any fires that start could spread very quickly and become difficult to control. Please be extremely careful and help prevent wildfires!
In addition to observing the burn ban, please:
- Avoid all outdoor burning or activities that create sparks.
- Do not park vehicles on dry grass (a hot engine can easily start a fire).
- Properly discard cigarettes.
Stay safe and stay fire-aware!
