Definition of a “HIGH” rating: Wildfires are likely. Fires in heavy, continuous fuel, such as mature grassland, weed fields, and forest litter, will be difficult to control under windy conditions. Control through direct attack may be difficult but possible, and mop up will be required.
This means that the shooting range on Hwy 291 in Stonelodge and other areas on State land will be closed until the rating moves below High.
