Fire activity is building around the west slope with a few significant fires. Smokey air 
from fires will be likely.  Although we are pretty green it does not take much to get
old dried out materials going.
 

A major concern-wet ground and green trees taking out powerlines during windy days.
The unprotected trees are causing some real issues including fires.  Removal of hazard
trees is the best, underground powerlines the most expensive.

Be careful with campfires or small cleanup fires to avoid escapes.

If you are hand feeding a campfire-make sure you only have one!
