Return of high heat and low humidity increases fire risk 

–San Luis Obispo County is expecting a period of above average temperatures and low humidity beginning Saturday through the end of the week. There has also been a decrease in the live vegetation moistures in locations around San Luis Obispo County. In some locations vegetation moistures are below critical.

Cal Fire is encouraging the public to take extra measures to make sure you and your family are fire safe.
