Shelby County Fire Danger reduced to “Moderate”

Ag/Outdoor, News, Weather

October 26th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

The Shelby County Emergency Management Agency reports, with much of the crop being in the bins now, the amount of fuel necessary for opening burning to spread beyond an intended area, has been reduced. Therefore, the local Fire Danger threat is being reduced to “Moderate,” from now through late this week.

Moderate Fire Danger ratingOfficials warn that grassland is still very dry, and fires which start there can run for a long time until out of fuel, and spread to structures. Persons are advised to please let your Fire Chief know in advance of the time and location of any burns to prevent needless responses from local volunteer firefighters. The next update will be Thursday October 29, 2015
