...LOW FIRE DANGER...



The Grassland Fire Danger Index will reach the low category 

this afternoon. Favorable weather conditions or a high moisture 

content of grasses, and other dry organic material on the 

ground, indicate that the probability of a fast moving fire is 

low. Outdoor burning under these conditions can usually be 

with reasonable safety precautions, but should be monitored.



OUTLOOK FOR MONDAY AFTERNOON...The Grassland Fire Danger Index

will reach the low category. 



The grassland fire danger product reflects fire danger for native

grasses. It is not intended for cured agricultural crops, nor

will it reflect conditions in road ditches which have been mowed.
