0330L-SATURDAY OUTLOOK FROM GARFIELD COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT-4/3/21
1-Warm and windy will be on the plate for today so get out and enjoy. Watch out for construction areas as dust & dirt will definitely be flying around. The Fire Danger is still around and will be for the foreseeable future so just be careful and if you see smoke and fire, call 911 immediately.
2- CONTROLLED BURNING is NOT a good idea right now. Winds can carry embers quite a ways so please refrain from burning if possible. Overall, foliage is slowly greening up but we are dry so again, be very careful if utilizing anything related to fire. Just FYI, before burning here in GARFIELD COUNTY, call the fire department number in the district you live in, which rings into dispatch to let them know you are doing a controlled burn. I coordinate with them on whether its safe to burn or not. Please heed that advice. Here is a link to those fire department numbers- https://gcem.org/emergency-numbers/
3-Be sure to download our GARFIELD COUNTY EM app. It’s loaded with tons of information that just might save your life. Here is your countywide forecast from the NWS/NORMAN;
