The wildfire hazard is HIGH for today.  We expect the hazard to drop again tomorrow, based on forecasted rain.

The hazard today is being driven by temperatures in the mid twenties, and winds from the SW at 20 km/hr.  Our humidity remains at about 40%.  We expect a change in the weather tomorrow, with precipitation and winds.

We have three crews and three helicopters on hand to action any new wildfires.  We have crews still working in BC and Montana.

Thanks for doing your part to prevent wildfire.
