As of Friday morning, crews were responding to 32 active and 37 contained fires throughout the Commonwealth. But the Kentucky Division of Forestry says a forecasted drop in humidity early next week could see eastern Kentucky continue to be at risk for more wildfires.
Kessley Baker is the Division’’s Wildfire Mitigation Specialist and acting public information officer. She says rain and drops in temperature through Friday gives firefighters a head start, but there’s still more work to be done.
