BASSFIELD...COLLINS...MOUNT OLIVE...LAUREL...COLUMBIA... WEST HATTIESBURG...LUMBERTON...PURVIS...HATTIESBURG 117 PM CDT MON SEP 16 2013 ...HIGH FIRE DANGER CONDITIONS EXPECTED OVER THE COMING DAYS... ACCORDING TO AREA FORESTRY COMMISSIONS AND THE US FOREST SERVICE, RECENT DRY CONDITIONS HAVE MADE OUTDOOR BURNING INCREASINGLY HAZARDOUS. CONDITIONS ARE SUCH THAT A SPARK FROM EQUIPMENT, THE HEAT FROM A CATALYTIC CONVERTER, OR ANY HEAT SOURCE COULD START A GRASS OR BRUSH FIRE. THE COMBINATION OF DRY FINE FUELS, SUCH AS GRASS, AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY HAVE RESULTED IN CONTINUED FIRE DANGER ACROSS THE REGION. FIRE DANGER IS HIGHEST IN AREAS THAT HAVE NOT RECEIVED SUBSTANTIAL RAINFALL OVER THE PAST 48 HOURS. MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL RANGE FROM 25 TO 35 PERCENT THIS AFTERNOON...CREATING HIGH FIRE DANGER GIVEN THE DRY CONDITIONS. ASHLEY AND CHICOT COUNTIES IN ARKANSAS, AS WELL AS SEVERAL PARISHES ACROSS NORTHEAST LOUISIANA ARE UNDER LOCAL BURN BANS AT THE PRESENT TIME. FIRES PLACE AREA FORESTRY COMMISSIONS, FIRE DEPARTMENTS, AND OTHER FIRE CONTROL AGENCIES IN LIFE THREATENING SITUATIONS, AND CAN ENDANGER COMMUNITIES. PLEASE USE CAUTION AND HELP PREVENT FOREST AND GRASS FIRES.
