episode_narrativeThe combination of dormant winter vegetation and prolonged dry weather conditions resulted in a high fire danger during much of the month. The fire danger increased during the latter half of the month as temperatures climbed to record levels on several days, humidities fell into the teens and low level winds became strong and gusty. Burning bans were posted as a precautionary measure but over 250 major grassfires (none of which were started by weather phenomena) occurred with more than 75,000 acres burned. Many homes were burned down and numerous minor injuries (mainly to firemen) resulted.Grassfires destroyed 5 homes in Princeton.
