| episode_narrative | A wildfire consumed more than two acres of woodland near Elk Neck State Forest. In the month of March 35 fires consumed 35 acres of woodland in Cecil County. Unseasonably dry weather prevailed throughout the state of Maryland and led to 366 wildfires during the month of March, triple the 20 year average for the month. On the 31st the Maryland Department of Natural Resources imposed an outdoor burning in the state. Campfires, bonfires and fireworks were included in the ban. Leaf, brush, grass and trash burning were also prohibited. All burning permits in Cecil County were suspended indefinitely. The unseasonably dry weather has caused some Maryland crops to be behind schedule. Dry field conditions might cause delayed plantings. The low flow in the Cesapeake Bay and higher salinity values will leave oysters vulnerable to diseases. It would also damage some underwater grasses and was expected to increase the number of jellyfish. March 2006 was the driest March on record (112 years) in Maryland. The statewide average precipitation was 0.34 inches, 3.75 inches drier than normal. |
