The Peeples Valley Fire Department has raised our Fire Danger to Level 4, Very High. – Propane cooking and warming fires are allowed in an established devise. Outdoor power equipment may be used if equipped with an appropriate spark arrestor. No fireworks or target shooting of any kind. Burn permits will not be issued.
Fires start easily from all causes, and immediately after ignition, spread rapidly and increase quickly in intensity. Spot fires are a constant danger. Fires burning in light fuels may quickly develop high-intensity characteristics; such as, long-distance spotting and fire whirlwinds, when they burn into heavier fuels. Direct attack at the head of such fires is rarely possible after they have been burning more than a few minutes.
