BRANCH COUNTY, MI (WTVB) – The National Weather Service office in northern Indiana says there is a elevated fire danger for Tuesday between 12 noon and 7:00 p.m..
They say the combination of warm temperatures, breezy winds and low relative humidity will lead to an elevated fire danger Tuesday afternoon and early Tuesday evening as brush, grass and unharvested fields continue to dry out across far southwest Lower Michigan, northwest Ohio and all of northern Indiana.
Any fires that ignite may spread rapidly and may become very difficult to control, especially in areas of grass, brush and unharvested fields. 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.
