No Fires!

A few days ago, I noticed a posted bulletin about no open fires in Six Mile Canyon/Cibola National Forest due to the low humidity conditions on the Whispering Cedars community bulletin board.

Then yesterday, as I was driving into Six Mile Canyon, I noticed this sign just inside the gateway:

According the posted bulletin, NO FIRES means no campfires or even barbecues are allowed in the national forest, which is directly behind our community.

The fire watch has expired, only to be replaced by a high wind advisory.

The forecast from the National Weather Service:

Today

Tonight
