WHAT. The combination of warm temperatures, breezy winds and low relative humidity will lead to an elevated fire danger this afternoon and early this evening as brush, grass and unharvested fields continue to dry out. WHERE. Across far southwest Lower Michigan, northwest Ohio and all of northern Indiana. WHEN. From Noon EDT to 7 PM EDT today. IMPACTS. Any fires that ignite may spread rapidly and may become very difficult to control, especially in areas of grass, brush and unharvested fields. PREPAREDNESS AND PRECAUTIONARY ACTIONS. Burning is strongly discouraged under these conditions. Take extra care to prevent the start of accidental fires when smoking or operating vehicles around dry vegetation or crops. Regularly clear crop dust and debris from combines to help prevent fires.
