Humboldt Fire Department urges caution regarding grass fires

The Humboldt Fire Department is reminding everyone to be mindful of starting grass fires.

They said in a social media post that the risk of grass fires is quite high this time of year.

“Dry grass, warmer temps, and strong winds create the perfect storm for fast-moving wildfires this time of year,” the post read. “Just one spark from a cigarette, fire pit, or even a hot exhaust can ignite a disaster.”

The department has several tips to help prevent such a disaster taking place.
