Bush still very dry even with little rain Alert / Warning Thursday, June 18, 2015
This small amount of rain might give people the idea it is safe to have fires again nut Bush still very dry. If you do not have a way to put out a camp fire do not light one. Shovel or a bucket with access to water a must. Cig butts are very hot if you do not butt it out before discarding it. Dry grass and bush is just like paper can flare up very fast. Stay safe
