Recent rains reduced fire risk in Frederick County timberland officials said while other Maryland areas remain dry. Forester Sheldon Burns at Gambrill Park cited improved conditions though University of Maryland forester C F Winslow warned continued drought in parts of the state.

Rainfall for the month totaled .69 inches, well below normal, while Fishing Creek dam reservoir level rose on heavy upstream downpours.
