According to @NWS, there continues to be higher risk for wildfires in the Central and Southern U.S. In these conditions, do not light campfires, bonfires, or anything else that could blow over and start a fire. Keep yourself and your community safe!

Do your part to help prevent wildfires as record heat impacts much of the country this week. According to the @NWS, hundreds of daily temperature records may be set from the West Coast to the Plains. These conditions can accelerate fuels drying and snowpack melting, increasing wildfire risk in many areas. Take a few steps to help prevent wildfires and protect your community: - Check local fire restrictions - Avoid activities that could spark a fire on hot, dry, or windy days - Properly extinguish your campfires – drown, stir, and cold to the touch - Secure tow chains and keep your car tires fully inflated - If debris burning is permissible in your area, keep piles small and burn only under appropriate conditions Small actions can prevent devastating wildfires.
