Officials with the Shelby County Emergency Management Agency have ended their local Fire Danger advisories. All participating agencies (Local fire departments and/or businesses) in the County may place their Fire Danger signs in the LOW category. The bi-weekly monitoring of extreme fire conditions will resume this fall. Officials say the project has paid dividends in terms of reducing unnecessary fire dispatches, and in the way controlled burns are planned, in a safer, more knowledgeable environment.
