The combination of dry fuels, low relative humidity around 25 to 30 percent, and wind gusts up to 20 to 30 mph will lead to an increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires today across the Piedmont and Sandhills of central North Carolina. People in this area are urged to properly dispose of cigarette butts, matches, and any other flammable items in appropriate containers. Additionally, exercise caution if operating any equipment that could create sparks, and keep vehicles off of dry grass. Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily ignite and spread fire quickly. Lastly, remember to obey local burn bans. For more information about wildfire danger, burn restrictions, and wildfire prevention and education, please visit the North Carolina forestry or environmental protection website.
