High temperatures and low humidity have brought the fire danger rating in Summit County back up to extreme.
Officials had moved the rating down to very high July 23, citing then-recent moisture that was enough to lower the danger rating but not enough to affect the Stage 2 fire restrictions, which remain in place.
This week, the National Weather Service forecasts highs in the low-to-mid 80s in Summit County, with low chances of precipitation.
“This is not a common occurrence for Summit County when you look at our history,” the post stated.
Fire officials hope more rain will come to the county next week, the post stated.
