Moderate Fire Danger
KBDI
is 200-400. Fires more readily burn, soils and fuels are drying. Large down
fuels will not burn well.
Expect smoke to linger through the night.
Wildfire danger is moderate. Expect windy conditions to quickly dry grasses and forest fuels. Grasses and forest fuels may burn!
Build campfires cautiously. Keep them small. Clear an area around your campfire. Be safe, but limit the impact to the forest. Before leaving, be sure your fire is “dead-out” and naturalize your campsite.
Burn yard debris cautiously. Whenever possible, recycle yard debris as an alternative to burning. When trimming trees, chip the limbs and use the chips for mulch or place them in your compost bed.
If you must burn household trash, burn it in a container with a ½ inch screen mesh over its top. Clear the area immediately around the container of dry grass, weeds and brush. Whenever possible, use community trash collection centers. Properly dispose of cans and glass. Remember they do not burn.
