Red Flag Warning does not mean a wildfire has started.
It’s a weather alert that tells us conditions are right for a fire to start easily and spread quickly: dry vegetation, low humidity, warm temperatures, and strong winds.
If you live in California, think of it as a “high fire risk day” where even a small spark can turn into a fast-moving wildfire.
Homeowners should prepare by moving anything that can burn inside or away from the home.
On Red Flag Warning days, avoid ALL activities that can create sparks—like mowing dry grass, dragging chains, or using heavy equipment outdoors.
See smoke or fire? Call it in right away.
