I know I'm a broken record, but I'm going to keep on saying it - your campfire and fireworks this weekend are not worth the chance of starting a fire in these conditions. It's hot, it's dry, it's windy, and the gorge is already burning.

Even cities aren't safe. In Scottdale, 2 houses burned, and 4 were damaged as embers lit new fires right in front of the firemen and camera crews.
