Fire danger may be done a little, but it doesn't take long to dry out. Please remain cautious and have a plan in place.

❗Fire Danger Alert ❗

The forest is lowering fire danger to MODERATE due to cooler temperatures and precipitation this weekend across the forest. Although fire danger is moderate, fires can start from most accidental causes. If a fire does start in an open, dry grassland, it can burn and spread quickly on windy days. Average fire intensity will be moderate except in heavy concentrations of fuel, which may burn hot.

Balloons don't fly up into space or get to your loved ones in heaven.
They come back to earth and choke wildlife. Don't release them!
