Special Weather Statement
Email Print RSS Facebook Twitter RSS

By Deputy Fire Chief Ronald (Ronnie) Alvey
October 23, 2024

The National Weather Service has issued a special Weather statement for our area.

Elevated fire conditions are expected due to dry conditions and
gusty winds. Relative humidity values around 20 to 30 percent are
expected along with sustained westerly winds of 10 to 15 mph and
gusts 20 to 25 mph. This will result in the rapid drying of fine
fuels.

Residents and visitors are urged to exercise caution if handling
open flames or equipment that creates sparks. Also, dispose of
cigarette butts, matches, and other flammable items in appropriate
containers. Keep vehicles off of dry grass and obey local burn bans.
Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily
ignite and spread fire quickly.

For more information about wildfire danger, burn restrictions, and wildfire prevention and education, please visit Firewise Living in Maryland at https://dnr.maryland.gov/forests/Pages/fire/firewise.aspx
