************************* East Fire Region - September 28, 2009
There were no new fires reported over the weekend in the East Fire Region.
The fire hazard for the East Fire Region is low.

With hunting season upon us, hunters and campers are reminded to be FireSmart.
With cooler evenings and mornings, people are lighting campfires for warmth and cooking.
Once you are ready to leave the site, please ensure to properly extinguish your campfire, even if it seems damp - the ground dries out during the day and improperly extinguished campfires can re-ignite and turn into wildfires.
