…ELEVATED FIRE DANGER THIS AFTERNOON…
NORTH WINDS AVERAGING 15 TO 25 MPH ALONG WITH LOW HUMIDITY AND DRY GRASSES WILL KEEP OUR FIRE DANGER ELEVATED FOR MOST OF THE AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL BEGIN TO DIE DOWN AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE DAY…BUT OUTDOOR BURNING IS STILL NOT ADVISED.
Officials with the Shelby County Emergency Management Agency are asking businesses and fire departments with Fire Danger signs in their windows, to set the signs at HIGH this week. Emergency Manager Bob Seivert says burning of any kind is restricted unless approval is received from local Fire Chief. Controlled burns that are not reported will result in Fire Department being dispatched, and Fires extinguished if determined to be un-safe. Please call 712-755-2124 with questions. The goal is to prevent fires, through good communication, public cooperation, and planning.
Seivert says also, when someone has the need to burn a pile of brush, debris, or buildings, they are asked to contact the Emergency Management Agency at 755-2124. The dispatchers will obtain the location and nature of the planned burn and will provide the caller with the Fire Chiefs contact information. Through this expanded communication process, we have found some burns can be rescheduled to a different time of day, where wind and moistures are more acceptable. The Fire Chiefs can have input as to how the burn can be conducted safely and be aware of the activity should it become unmanageable.
