...INCREASED FIRE DANGER IN EFFECT FROM 11 AM EDT TO 8 PM EDT
MONDAY DUE TO A COMBINATION OF LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES AND
VERY DRY FUELS...
The low relative humidity values combined with very dry fuels
will lead to an increased risk of wildfires throughout central
North Carolina.
Residents and visitors are urged to properly dispose of cigarette
butts, matches, and any other flammable items in appropriate
containers. Additionally, exercise caution if operating any
equipment that could create sparks, and keep vehicles off of dry
leaves and grass. Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree
litter could easily ignite and spread fire quickly.
Please be reminded that a statewide burn ban issued by the NC
Forest Service is currently in place. Open burning of any kind is
illegal.
