Today's drier weather and windy conditions increased fire behavior on several of the fires in the River Complex.  Please be aware of current conditions and know that things can change rapidly in the hot and dry conditions.  Make sure if you visit the forest, you can get out safely if conditions change.  Make sure you "Know Before You Go" and plan an escape route if needed.
