Shelby County Emergency Manager Bob Seivert said today (Monday), that the Fire Danger level in the County will remain in the “HIGH” category through at least Thursday, October 4th. The Fire Danger rating in Shelby County is based on input from local fire chiefs and the Emergency Manager, and weather factors.

Controlled Burns should only be conducted with the knowledge of the local Fire Chief.  Open burning is discouraged. Seivert said last week, that he expects the Fire Danger to remain High throughout the month of October.

Average High for the month 76.3 degrees; (Normal Avg. High 76.1)

Average Low: 42.9 degrees;  (Normal Avg. 50.4)

Rainfall total 1.27″;  (Normal 4.13″)
