FRISCO — The county’s fire danger moved from moderate back to high on Friday afternoon, according to officials with Summit Fire and EMS.

Summit Fire Chief Jeff Berino said low relative humidity and high winds have moved the county’s timber fuel group into the 90th percentile. Berino also noted that the county’s grasses have begun an aggressive curing process, spurring the increase in danger.
