Fire Danger...

The majority of the TX Panhandle is under a Red Flag Warning today and with 2 grassfires out in the county these last two days, it's important to keep these fire prevention tips in mind:

• Use caution when lighting open barbecue grills and try not to do any burning during these times of heightened concern
• Don't toss cigarettes out car windows
• Avoid driving through tall grass and never park you vehicle on dry grass.
• Carry a shovel and fire extinguisher in your vehicle or OHV/ATV.
• Refrain from yard work on dry, hot days when a spark from a lawnmower hitting a rock could ignite a grassfire
• Keep a watch out for arsonists and others being careless with fire
• Report any smoke or fire immediately to 9-1-1
