A wet winter has left a lot of moisture lingering around the Truckee Meadows this year, and as a result, trees and bushes are growing more abundantly and they're staying greener for longer. 

The Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District says this fire season is off to a fast start. And they need your help getting ready for the holiday weekend.

Wildfires can strike, every month of the year - but spring's arrival is a reminder that the busy part of fire season will be here before you know it - and we should all be proactive.

Daylight Saving Time begins early Sunday morning, meaning we spring forward an hour at 2 a.m.

Your home is full of fire risks that aren't normally there due to the cold weather and holiday celebrations.

Are you deep-frying a turkey this year for Thanksgiving? If so, firefighters want to make sure you do it safely.

Nothing quite says summer like grilling and barbecuing, but the Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District wants to make sure people grill safely.

Local fire officials are reminding everyone to be extra careful as we head into fire season in our area. Whether people are going off-roading or grilling officials want everyone to be safe outside. Especially because they're expecting another dry season.
