Dry and windy conditions are in today's forecast. Exercise caution if you are burning or using off-highway vehicles in areas of dried grass as fire can spread quickly and become hard to control.
 
The potential for an Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) fire is increasing, the hot areas on your OHV can collect grass and other debris and start a wildfire. Clean your OHV before, during and after your ride and always carry a bucket with you in the event of a starting a wildfire.
