Hopefully this will get everyone’s attention. The fire danger continues to be high due to very low humidity and steady winds that are drying everything out. After spending Saturday and Sunday under a Red Flag Warning, the National Weather Service has issued another for Wednesday. PLEASE be careful out there.
