…INCREASED FIRE DANGER FROM LATE MORNING THROUGH EARLY EVENING
FOR RAPID SPREAD OF FIRES…
Low relative humidity values will combine with wind gusts of 25
to 40 mph and drying fuels to result in an increased danger of
fires burning out of control across the mountains of Southwest
Virginia and Northwest North Carolina.
People are urged to avoid outdoor burning today. If you must
burn, use extreme caution since fires can grow quickly and become
dangerous in these conditions. Ensure that fire suppression
equipment is readily available. Properly extinguish and dispose of
any smoking materials.
Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities whether
you may burn outdoors.
