Use the scenario to answer the question. The National Weather Service issued the following weather forecast. “Strong, hot, dry winds are expected to move through the local area.” Which action would local fire officials most likely take as a result of this weather forecast?
Local fire officials would most likely increase their staffing and be on high alert for potential wildfires. They may also issue a warning to residents to be cautious with any outdoor activities that could potentially spark a fire, such as using BBQs or setting off fireworks. Additionally, they may put in place a temporary ban on controlled burns or other fire-related activities to reduce the risk of wildfires spreading rapidly in the dry and windy conditions.
