Even with some light rainfall yesterday, there was adequate sun and gusty winds this afternoon to rapidly dry fuels. Residents and visitors are urged to properly dispose of cigarette butts, matches, and any other flammable items in appropriate containers. Additionally, exercise caution if operating any equipment that could create sparks and keep vehicles off of dry grass.
