MAINE PUBLIC • November 8, 2024
Fire danger is high for about half the state of Maine due to unusually dry and windy conditions. With no significant precipitation expected in the coming days, the danger is expected to stay high throughout the weekend except in northernmost Maine where the threat is low. Kent Nelson, a Forest Ranger Specialist with the Maine Forest Service, recommends that people limit all outdoor burning, even if the state is yet to fall under a total burn ban.
