Fire Season Fact Sheet and Outlook It’s always difficult to say what how the fire season will be. Never ask a firefighter, if you want a good answer. They will always tell it will be a "big" year. If it rained they’ll say that the brush is thick and green from all the rain "..and its really gonna burn in August!" If its been dry, they’ll say that the drought has really dried the brush out "..and its really gonna burn in August!" In the meantime, we can look at some indicators provided by our weather service brothers and sisters. The following summary is taken from the Northwest Coordination Center’s website: www.nwccweb.us/predict/outlook.asp.
DO YOUR PART. If you go camping…make sure you follow all burning restrictions. If you ride ATV’s, stay on trails and make sure you have a spark arrestor. If you smoke, stay inside a vehicle with an ashtray when you are in the woods. Never throw burning material out the window. |
