Forestry officials are asking the public to be careful with outdoor fires as recent cold, dry weather has increased the chances of wildfires.
Lower humidity and windy conditions coupled with the lack of rainfall are creating drier conditions with a strong potential for increased wildfire activity.
But the same conditions that increase our wildfire risk also make it more pleasant for people to be outdoors.
Forestry officials are asking for vigilance to ensure your weekend fun doesn’t go up in smoke:
Remember to build your campfires in an open area away from trees and overhanging branches and never leave a fire unattended.
And remember to completely extinguish your fire with water before leaving it.
And if you are using a propane grill, try to stay over bare dirt or pavement – away from dead grass and weeds and never transport or dump live coals from a grill.
