(Richmond)- After a dry summer for most of Virginia, forestry officials are warning residents of a fall fire season with conditions that could easily lead to blazes. The Virginia Department of Forestry says the fall fire season had officially arrived. Virginians are told to use caution when burning or creating any kind of fire through November. According to the Forestry Department, the combination of low humidity, windy conditions and plentiful dry grass and leaves makes it easy for wildfires to spark and spread.
