are either occurring now, or will shortly. A combination of
strong winds, low relative humidity, and warm temperatures and
exceptionally dry fuels will create dangerous wildland fire
conditions. Campfires, outdoor grills, smoking materials,
fireworks, chain saws, and all-terrain vehicles all have the
potential to throw a spark and ignite a dangerous and destructive
fire.
