Take extra caution when driving, particularly high sided vehicles due to cross winds. Remove loose debris from open areas as it may be blown away. At first sign of smoke, every possible measure should be taken in order to bring the fire under control in the shortest possible time. If possible, avoid erecting temporary structures during this period.
