What is a red flag warning?

“A red flag warning signifies a high risk of fast-spreading wildfires due to a combination of weather conditions like warm temperatures, low humidity, and strong winds, prompting heightened fire danger awareness and caution.”

“Avoid outdoor burning or any activities that could spark a fire, such as discarding burning cigarette butts or operating lawnmowers in dry grass.
Ensure all fires are fully extinguished before leaving any area.
Stay alert for any signs of fire, especially in windy or dry areas.”

If you see a fire, report it immediately to local authorities.
