Aaron PalmerFire danger in Sheridan County remains high, and officials are asking the public to remain cautious to prevent fires.
In a release from the county, fire danger is still high despite recent rains, and with continued hot, dry weather in the forecast, the risk is expected to increase.
The Sheridan County Board of County Commissioners, County Fire Warden, and rural fire department Chiefs remind residents that Partial Fire Restrictions are still in place. They urge everyone to please be cautious with anything that could create sparks and potentially start a fire, especially during hot, dry, and windy conditions. Fires can start from tow chains dragging on the pavement, a vehicle’s hot exhaust over dry grass (even ATVs), carelessness with any burning materials or sparking items.
Some key points of the Partial Fire Restrictions include:
The fire restrictions will remain until cooler, wetter weather arrives in the fall.
