      1.  Whenever the Governor finds that conditions of extreme fire hazard exist, either in or out of the fire hazard season, the Governor may by proclamation close or partially close such land or areas as the Governor may find to be in such condition of extreme hazard to the general public and prohibit or limit burning and other acts thereon to such degree and in such ways as he or she deems necessary to reduce the danger of forest and other wild land fires.
