Windy Conditions, Warm Temperatures, and Low Humidity Causes Red Flag Warning in Florence?
9/5/2023 (Permalink)
The National Weather Service issues Red Flag Warnings to inform the public, firefighters, and land management agencies of warm temperatures, very low humidities, and stronger winds that can combine to produce an increased risk for fire danger. Our team in South Eugene and Florence wants everyone to be aware of Red Flag Warnings and offer these safety tips from the National Weather Service:
- If you are allowed to burn in your area, all burn barrels must be covered with a weighted metal cover, with holes no larger than 3/4 of an inch
- Do not throw cigarettes or matches out of a moving vehicle. They may ignite dry grass on the side of the road and become a wildfire.
- Extinguish all outdoor fires properly. Drown fires with plenty of water and stir to make sure everything is cold to the touch. Dunk charcoal in water until cold. Do not throw live charcoal on the ground and leave it.
- Never leave a fire unattended. Sparks or embers can blow into leaves or grass, ignite a fire, and quickly spread
