SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA AND NORTHWEST NORTH CAROLINA IN EFFECT FROM 11
AM THROUGH 8 PM EDT THIS EVENING...

After coordination with local land managers, a Fire Danger
Statement has been issued for counties within southeast West
Virginia, southwest Virginia and northwest North Carolina. The
combination of dry fuels, afternoon relative humidity below 30
percent, and winds gusting at times 25 mph to locally 40 mph will
increase the danger of any fires quickly spreading out of
control.

Please exercise extreme caution if handling open flames or
equipment that creates sparks. Dispose of cigarette buttes,
matches, and other flammable materials in appropriate containers.
Keep vehicles off of dry grass and obey local burn bans. Most dry
grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily ignite
and spread fire quickly. Refer to your local burn-permitting
authority on whether you may burn today.
