‼️Red Flag Warning for southern & east central Missouri on FRIDAY!
> Due to low relative humidity, dry fuels & strong winds (gusts up to 40mph)
⚠️DO NOT BURN
⚠️BE CAREFUL WITH CIGARETTES & ANYTHING THAT COULD SPARK A FIRE
‼️Being careful protects lives, property & firefighters!
REMEMBER: As we "fall back" Saturday night, Nov. 2, and you reset clocks, check smoke and CO alarms! Over 60% of deadly U.S. fires occur in homes that do NOT have working smoke alarms!
(All smoke alarms should be replaced after 10 years.) #SmokeAlarmsSaveLives
