TODAYS FIRE DANGER LEVEL

Eastern Area – LOW
(Bucks, Montgomery, Delaware, Philadelphia)

Northern Area –LOW
(Berks, Lehigh, Northampton)

Southern AreaLOW
(Lancaster, Chester)

 

High fire danger means all fine dead fuels ignite readily and fires start easily from most causes.  Unattended brush and camp fires are likely to escape.  Fires spread rapidly and short distance spotting is common.  Fires may become serious and their control difficult unless they are attacked successfully while small.  Outdoor burning should be restricted to early morning and late evening hours.
