...INCREASED FIRE DANGER TODAY...

The combination of dry fuels, relative humidity values of as low
as 25 percent, and southwest winds gusting to 20 to 25 mph will 
increase the potential for the spread of wildfires today.

Residents are urged to exercise caution handling any potential
ignition source...including machinery... cigarettes...and matches.
Be sure to properly discard all smoking materials. Any dry grasses
and tree litter that ignite will have the potential to spread
quickly.
