Strong winds can make fires unpredictable and difficult to contain. Ensure fire extinguishers or sources of water are readily available.

The following activities continue to be prohibited:
• Any fire requiring a Fire Permit

The following activities are allowed:
• Burn Barrels and Incinerators normally prohibited have been allowed in this advisory
• Recreational fires and back yard fire pits
