Elevated Fire Risk

2026 Spotter Training Schedule

Unseasonably mild temperatures, worsening drought conditions and breezy winds will lead to an elevated fire risk, perhaps some critical risk, across the area Monday through Wednesday. Any outdoor burning should be avoided, and use extra caution if using heavy equipment and discarding cigarettes.

Here is the schedule for the 2026 Spotter Training sessions. There will be no in-person talks this year. To register for one of the sessions, please visit https://www.weather.gov/dvn/spotters#schedule. Select the date from the list you would like to attend and follow the GoToWebinar link to sign up.
