Fire danger ramps up again Wednesday, driven primarily by strong winds out of the northwest that will gust as strong as 30-40 mph. Avoid open burning & be careful with outdoor equipment that may cause a spark.

[Governor Jim Pillen @TeamPillen]

Our state still faces a significant wildfire threat.

Today, I issued a proclamation to ensure that Nebraska National Guard resources are ready and available to respond to wildfires, should they be needed. High winds, low humidity, and dry conditions continue to be a concern and could produce dangerous conditions.

Protecting the citizens of Nebraska is my number one priority. We are ensuring that resources are ready to combat fires and safeguard lives and property. I have full confidence in Adjutant General Strong to lead our state’s disaster response with efficiency and effectiveness.
