winds and low relative humidities can contribute to extreme fire
behavior.

Avoid outdoor activities that can cause a spark near dry
vegetation, such as yard work, target shooting, or campfires.
Follow local fire restrictions. Check weather.gov/flagstaff for
updates and livingwithfire.org for preparedness tips.

Please notify field crews of this Red Flag Warning.
