🚩 TAKE ACTION BEFORE A RED FLAG WARNING 🚩

Critical fire weather conditions are expected from 11 a.m. Wednesday through 5 p.m. Thursday across portions of the Sacramento Valley. Strong winds, low humidity, and dry fuels can cause fires to spread rapidly.

Before the wind arrives, do an Ember Check:
✔️ Close windows, garage doors, and pet doors
✔️ Clear leaves and debris from roofs and gutters
✔️ Move flammable items off your patio and at least 5' away from your home

Close It. Clear It. Move It.

Now is the time to prepare, stay alert, and have an evacuation plan ready.

🚩 RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT 🚩

Critical fire weather is expected across portions of the northern Sacramento Valley from Wednesday morning through Thursday afternoon.

Strong north winds, low humidity, and dry vegetation will create conditions where any new fire could spread quickly.

Be ready, not reactive. Pack a go bag, make sure emergency alerts are enabled, and take time to prepare your home and family in case an evacuation becomes necessary.

Stay informed, stay prepared, and stay aware.

🔴 Red meant something different this week.

Through May 3, fire stations, landmarks, and communities across the country were lit up in red for Light the Night for Fallen Firefighters—a symbol of support and remembrance.

On average, flags at the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation are lowered to half-staff once every three days to honor a firefighter lost in the line of duty. Every red light this week was proof that we never forget.

Don't forget to change your clocks tonight, falling back one hour.
Take a few minutes to change the batteries in your flashlights and smoke alarms and rotate any food or water stocks. This will help prepare you for storm related power outages or holiday fire hazards.

Firefighters have stopped the spread of a vegetation fire in an orchard in Chico on Kennedy Avenue. Mapped at 1.7 acres. Crews will remain at scene for the next hour mopping up and strengthening containment lines. #KennedyFire

[CAL FIRE @CAL_FIRE]

⚡ Over 110,000 lightning strikes during the month of August sparked 534 lightning-caused wildfires—yet only 5 (1%) grew beyond 10 acres. CAL FIRE continues to meet its goal of containing 95% of fires to 10 acres or less.

We are currently seeing increased fire activity due to the lightning activity seen over the last few days, and conditions remain critical. Please stay prepared, stay aware, and have a plan in case a wildfire threatens your community.

Our crews continue to work tirelessly across the state to protect the communities we serve.
