The Hattiesburg area is under significant (Level 3) fire danger conditions on Saturday, March 28, with weather conditions allowing fires to start more easily and potentially spread, especially from late morning through the afternoon.

Open burning should not be attempted.

Secure trailer and tow chains to prevent sparks, and properly dispose of ci******es and smoking materials.

Even small sparks can quickly become dangerous. Please use caution and help reduce fire risk across our community.
