Mathew Benedict, the Red, White and Blue Fire Protection District division chief of wildfire and community preparedness, wrote that Smokey Bear signs will continue to read “Low” fire danger next week.

Benedict wrote in an email that moisture Summit County has been and will keep getting helps keep the fire danger low. That does not mean no fire danger though, as Benedict pointed out that the county has had three fires already this season.

“The dead material on the landscape will still burn although it should be getting significant moisture for the next week as we see rain/snow/hailstorms roll through most afternoons,” Benedict wrote.



National Weather Service forecasts, as of Friday, show at least a chance of rain, snow or thunderstorms every day from May 30 to June 5. The highest chance of precipitation is during the day Monday at 80%.
