What the agency told people to do
Do your part: No open flames or sparks, keep vehicles off of dry grass, properly dispose of cigarette butts, and avoid power equipment that creates sparks. One less spark, one less wildfire. Obey all fire restrictions. To view a map of current fire restrictions, go to wildlandfire.az.gov/fire-restrictions. A Red Flag Warning is issued when we identify weather conditions that promote rapid spread of fire which may become life-threatening. This does not mean there is a fire. These conditions are either occurring now or will begin soon. It is important to have multiple ways to receive information from authorities. A Fire Weather Watch means that critical fire weather conditions are possible. These conditions could promote the rapid spread and growth of wildfires, which could become life-threatening. For forecast updates, go to weather.gov/flagstaff. Please advise the appropriate officials or fire crews in the field of the Red Flag Warnings and Fire Weather Watch.
