content of grasses, and other dry organic material on the
ground, indicate that the probability of a fast moving fire is
low. Outdoor burning under these conditions can usually be
with reasonable safety precautions, but should be monitored.
OUTLOOK FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON...The Grassland Fire Danger Index
