CalFire warns about holiday fire danger

    CalFire officials are urging Californians to be extra careful with their outdoor plans this holiday weekend, as fire activity and fire danger remain high statewide.

   The Labor Day weekend is often known as the unofficial end of suer, and millions of people will take advantage of the holiday to visit California's great outdoors.

   In anticipation of the increased outdoor activities, CalFire officials are urging everyone to exercise extra caution and safety this Labor Day weekend.

    The past several weeks firefighters have been extremely busy up and down the state with major wildfires including the over 200,000 acre Rim Fire burning (they say "near") but the truth is IN and around Yosemite National Park.

   Do not BBQ on wood porches or decks, never leave your BBQ fires unattended, and store any propane tanks for the BBQ in a separate area from your BBQ for saftey.
