Here is a Fire Danger Statement issued in coordination with the
West Virginia division of forestry...
With warmer daytime temperatures and dry weather... fire danger
has reached moderate to high across West Virginia... especially at
lower elevations. Some lowland locations in southern West Virginia
have even reached a very high fire danger. Warm temperatures will
combine with very low relative humidity levels this
afternoon... and again Saturday afternoon... to further enhance the
danger.
Outside of higher elevations that still have melting snow... open
burning of any type is considered very hazardous at this time.
Accidental escaped debris Burns are by far the number one cause of
wildfires in West Virginia. Also... be careful with heat and Sparks
while operating any equipment... or smoking in wildland areas.
West Virginia state law prohibits debris burning from 7am to 4pm
during the months of March... April... and may.
