Fire season is here. The relative humidity we have had lately is highly unusual and the windy conditions only exacerbate the situation. We anticipate conditions to be like this for a while. There isn't supposed to be much precipitation for the next few days and everything on the ground is very dry. |
If you are going to have a fire, they have to be attended to and completely out when you leave. The only way to be sure is to stick your fingers in the ashes when you are done. |
It was extremely cold and the wind blew right across the river at the poor folks. When people get too cold, they pick up their gear and leave their fire. |
We are in a transition period right now. There is still some snow on the ground, but some areas have been completely melted for a while. Even though it has been chilly, a fire can spread because of the lack of moisture. |
