Cleveland National Forest Allert

[OMR]

This is from the Warrior Society:

As most of you know the state is suffering under drought conditions that
have resulted in extreme fire danger in the forests across the state. We
expect the Forest Service to close the forests at any time if the conditions
warrant, or if out of control fires across the state deplete local fire
fighters who will be moved out of our area to control them.

Help to do your part to stop forest fires.
