RED FLAG WARNING continues through 9PM for #LaPlataCo

PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH FIRE. Fuels are drying rapidly and only wait for a spark to take off. Recognize the risks around you. Remember to make sure your campfires are really out. The area has had a number of near misses from unattended campfires recently.
Here's a great tip about putting your fire out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4INLiTHlh2I Drown, stir, drown, feel.

Fires make sparks, plan ahead.
