You've probably heard the term, 'red flag warning. ' That means there are extreme conditions. Low humidity, high temperatures. The fuels are extremely dry and volatile. We classify those in East Tennessee as 'fire days' so if your fire class day is a 1, it's relatively low. A class 5 day would be an extremely high danger day. A day like Sunday would be a 4 or a 5.
We should not forget that our tradition is one of protest and revolt and that it is stultifying to celebrate the rebels of the past. . . while we silence the rebels of the present.
