Current Fire Danger Rating: HIGH
When the fire danger is high, fires can start easily from most causes and small fuels (i.e. grasses and needles) will ignite readily. Unattended campfires and brush fires are likely to escape. Only build fires inside metal or rock fire rings. Keep fires away from grasses and pine needles.
