TLDR: No chainsaw ban at noon (Sep 8)
Last night we had some hyper-localized light rain. Shingle Spit is bone dry, but the roads are damp at the firehall. The roads and lawns may be damp this morning, but no moisture made it through the canopy.
I have backed off the fire hazard to “HIGH” and won’t implement the high-risk activity restrictions today. I highly recommend morning shift for any such activities, followed by a 30-minute fire watch. Best practice is to have water standing by.
A total fire ban remains in effect.
