Extreme fire danger brings Red Flag
Critical fire weather conditions have returned statewide this week. Be prepared, have an evacuation plan and know what to do before the next fire disaster.
A Red Flag Warning is in effect through 10 p.m. Friday, Nov. 9, for all the mountain and valley areas. Some local weather prognosticators predict Santa Ana winds continuing through Tuesday. Exercise caution while outdoors.
Santa Ana winds got cranking Thursday, Nov. 11, and they will peak Thursday night into Friday morning before decreasing late Friday.
Critical to extreme fire weather conditions are expected across parts of Northern and Southern California into Friday morning. Any fires that ignite will spread rapidly with extreme fire behavior possible. For more, visit http://www.spc.noaa.gov
A devastating wildfire has already ignited in Northern California, spreading quickly and has entered the town of Paradise. It’s only 6 miles from Chico.
The National Weather Service issues Red Flag Warnings and Fire Weather Watches to alert fire departments of the onset, or possible onset, of critical weather and dry conditions that could lead to rapid or dramatic increases in wildfire activity.
A Red Flag Warning is issued for weather events that may result in extreme fire behavior that will occur within 24 hours. A Fire Weather Watch is issued when weather conditions could exist in the next 12-72 hours. A Red Flag Warning is the highest alert. During these times, extreme caution is urged by all residents, because a simple spark can cause a major wildfire. A Fire Weather Watch is one level below a warning, but fire danger is still high.
The type of weather patterns that can cause a watch or warning include low relative humidity, strong winds, dry fuels, the possibility of dry lightning strikes or any combination of the above.
During heightened fire danger, Cal Fire will place additional firefighters on duty, staff more fire engines and keep more equipment on 24 hours a day to be able to respond to any new fires. Cal Fire urges Californians to be extremely cautious, especially during periods of high fire danger. It’s important all residents and visitors take steps to prevent wildfires. One less spark could mean one less wildfire. Here are some tips: https://www.ready.gov/make-a-plan.
Hello! I could have sworn I’ve been to this blog before but after browsing through some of the post I realized it’s new to me. matematik dersi al
I was curious if you ever thought of changing
the page layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way
of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images.
Maybe you could space it out better?
I don’t even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was
great. I don’t know who you are but definitely you’re going to
a famous blogger if you are not already 😉 Cheers!
Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is valuable and everything.
But think about if you added some great visuals or videos to give your posts more, “pop”!
Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this website
could certainly be one of the most beneficial in its field.
Fantastic blog!
Right now it looks like Movable Type is the preferred blogging platform available right now.
(from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your
blog?
Greetings! I’ve been following your site for some time now
and finally got the courage to go ahead and give you a shout out
from Atascocita Texas! Just wanted to tell you keep up the good job!
This info is worth everyone’s attention. Where can I find out
more?
Have you ever considered creating an ebook or guest authoring on other websites?
I have a blog based upon on the same information you discuss and would love to have you share some stories/information. I know my visitors
would value your work. If you are even remotely interested, feel free to send me an e-mail.
No matter if some one searches for his vital thing, so he/she wishes to be available that in detail, so that thing is maintained over here.
For the reason that the admin of this website is working, no uncertainty very shortly it will be well-known, due to its quality contents.
Hey there! I know this is kinda off topic however , I’d figured I’d ask.
Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a blog post or vice-versa?
My website discusses a lot of the same topics
as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from
each other. If you are interested feel free to send me
an email. I look forward to hearing from
you! Superb blog by the way!
Interesting blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
A design like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog stand out.
Please let me know where you got your design. Appreciate it
I want to to thank you for this fantastic read!! I definitely enjoyed every little bit
of it. I have you book marked to check out new things you post…
I’m not sure why but this website is loading incredibly slow for me.
Is anyone else having this issue or is it a problem on my end?
I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.
Well done! This article provides a lot of value.
