The fire restriction status has been updated from a Complete Fire Ban to High.

A High rating means there is still a significant risk of fire. Fires can easily start from small fuels such as grass, pine needles, and other dry debris, and they can become difficult to control, especially in windy conditions.

Residents are encouraged to use extra caution with any activity that could create a spark or open flame.

As conditions can change quickly, we will continue to provide updates as information becomes available.
