July Safety Message

As we approach the peak of the summer season the dry fuels in the urban interface areas are drying out and becoming an issue. The wet spring and late summer months of this year extended the growing season of the light fuels and grasses. They are longer and denser than in years past. As we enter late July and early August, which is typically the hottest and driest time of the year, these light fuels are fully cured and easily ignited. We encourage all residents to use caution and follow local regulations when using an open flame in the urban interface areas.
