Whew, it is a warm one out there! Homie here, and I've got to tell you, while I love sunbathing on a nice river log, this dry weather means we all need to be extra careful. When we don't get rain for a bit, the forest floor turns into a tinderbox.
Right now, a stray spark from a cigarette, a hot exhaust pipe, or an uncooled campfire can start a wildfire in a matter of seconds.
Let's look out for each other:
- Avoid burning trash or yard waste on windy, dry days.
- Dispose of cigarette butts safely (never toss them out the car window!).
- Keep a bucket of water or a hose nearby if you're doing any outdoor work.
Let's keep Northern Michigan green until the next good rain comes along to splash in! Check today's fire danger rating before you head out!
