The Norman Fire Department is seeing an increase in wildfire activity due to dry conditions over the past few months. Low moisture, available fuels, and current wind conditions make small wildfires capable of quickly becoming dangerous for both citizens and emergency responders, according to the Norman Fire Department's Facebook post.
Residents are encouraged to review wildfire preparedness information available on the City of Norman website under the Norman Fire Department tab. This information provides guidance on how to protect your home and family in the event of a wildfire.
Additional safety practices include securing safety chains when towing trailers and properly discarding smoking materials. Always follow the City of Norman Burn Ordinance and have an evacuation plan ready in case of wildfire.
