FALL IS HERE, ...
and though the weather seems innocent enough, fall can be a dangerous time for wildfire. Along with the cooler temperatures and beautiful foliage comes an increased fire activity hazard from more fuel on the forest ground and the recent lack of rainfall, said a spokesman for the state's Division of Forest Resources.
Fall wildfire season typically lasts from mid-October until mid-December. The leaves on the ground, grasses and other plants browned by frost and the dry weather can lead to fires that burn quickly. This is also the time of year that people do a lot of yard work, such as burning leaves and yard debris. All of these fall conditions set up the increased potential for intense wildfires that can be difficult to control.The Division of Forest Resources urges you to take special care when burning this fall. Stay with the fire until it is out and douse the ashes with water. Be sure you comply with all state and local ordinances pertaining to open burning.
