Now we have another fire! It’s time to close access to the surrounding national forest before we have a third blaze to battle. It makes sense until we have some substantial rains to ease our current fire danger.

The fires are devastating enough, but the drought is far more encompassing to the natural resources we all enjoy. By that I mean that all the living organisms that make their home in the forest are under siege by the drought. The resource doesn’t need another human mistake.

Please take it upon yourself to stay out of the woods for the time being!
