🚩 EXTREME FIRE DANGER THIS WEEKEND 🚩

The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for all of Mississippi this Saturday. Conditions are primed for "explosive fire growth."

The Forecast:

💨 Winds: 10–20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph.

📉 Humidity: Dropping as low as 20%.

🔥 Impact: In these dry, windy conditions, any fire that starts will spread rapidly and become difficult to control.

The safest move: Do not attempt any outdoor burning. 🚫 Whether it’s a small debris pile or a burn barrel, one gust of wind can carry an ember over a half-mile away.

Please help us protect our homes, our forests, and our first responders. Wait for conditions to improve before you light that match.
