TIVFD: Fire Hazard Rating Rising

The fire hazard rating is rising due to warming temperatures and wind, with poor recovery (humidity/dew) on most nights.  We are now at MODERATE hazard.  Please be cautious of your yard waste fires and campfires. 

Permits for yard waste are still available for burning on GOOD or YES Venting Index days.  No demolition waste may be burned.  

Campfires permits are available for the month of May at this time, if regulation size and with water and an adult at the campfire until it is extinguished.

Moderate: Forest fuels are drying and there is an increased risk of surface fires starting. Carry out any forest activities with caution.
