The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Fire Warning due to dangerous fire weather conditions.

Forecasters say elevated fire danger is expected because of a combination of strong winds, low relative humidity, and warm temperatures. These conditions can cause fires to ignite easily and spread rapidly.

Residents and visitors are urged to use extreme caution with any activity that could produce sparks or open flames. Outdoor burning should be avoided, and motorists should ensure trailer chains are secured, vehicles are properly maintained, and cigarettes are disposed of safely.

Fire officials remind the public that under Red Flag conditions, even small ignitions can quickly become fast-moving wildfires. Everyone is encouraged to remain vigilant and take extra precautions to help prevent human-caused fires.
