Fire danger in SE VA. Small fire put out near my home
Posted: Mon Mar 09, 2009 4:31 pm
We have extreme fire danger here in southeast VA due to low humdity and moderate winds.
About an hour ago law enforcement on routine patrol happened on a small grass fire a few hundred feet from my home. Theres a fire station nearby and firefighters were able to quickly put the fire out.
Please be VERY careful when smoking outdoors as it only takes one ember from a ciggy to create a disaster. Do NOT toss your butts out of your car(you shouldnt be doing this anyway!)
Use extreme caution with outdoor grills or better yet dont use them until the fire danger has passed!
