⚠️ UPDATE: All Fire Chiefs that service Miami County have banned any burning on Sunday ( March 7, 2021 ) ⚠️

🚨From the National Weather Service 🚨

VERY HIGH FIRE DANGER SUNDAY

Very high fire danger is expected on Sunday across all of eastern Kansas and western Missouri, extending to northern and central
Missouri. Shortly after sunrise on Sunday morning, likely in the 9 am to 11 am timeframe, winds from the southwest will increase
to around 20 to 30 mph, with occasionally higher gusts. Relative humidity values will drop to around 20 percent by mid to late
morning on Sunday and will persist at that level until sunset. Winds will decrease around sunset. Outdoor burning or any behavior that may inadvertently spark a fire on Sunday is strongly discouraged.

Today, there has been many calls for service for Fire Departments in Miami County. We are already seeing the impact of the higher winds and dry grounds. A small cigarette can create a large grass fire within moments.
