[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It just rained a few days ago locally. Wildfire danger is basically back to normal right now. A fire pit is totally safe at the moment.

Y’all are obsessed with panicking over sh!t.

And snitching. [/quote]
Burn ban is still in effect in MD 
Drought conditions still prevail [/quote]

Maryland is a big place. Some parts are drier than others. The one-size-fits-all rule might still be in place, but conditions differ greatly depending on location. In the Bethesda area, we’ve had about .43” of rain in the last 14 days according to my gauge. That’s still below average, but it’s been sufficient to get the leaves and undergrowth dampened to the point where the fire danger is back to normal.

[b]Statewide orders ads stupid. They don’t take into account local conditions, but rather pick the worst spot in the entire state and make THAT the basis for the order.[/b] That’s a dumb as zero tolerance policies in schools, where kids with Benadryl or Midol are treated with the same punishment as kids with weed or Vicodin.

True.  So we'll raise your taxes to add resources so that this assessment can be made on a zip by zip basis.  How's that?[/quote]

Why does this need to be handled at the state level by some centralized government bureaucracy? The localities know how much rain they have received over the past months. Or don't you trust Montgomery county?[/quote]
