Windy conditions and fire safety Saturday (Jan. 15, 2022)

RFW

Saturday, South Texas will be experiencing high winds. Also a concerning factor with the winds is dry vegetation that could possibly start a wildfire if we’re not careful. So there is a red flag warning for the area.

  • No campfires, ground fires or burn piles
  • Avoid tools that could cause sparks like welding machines, saws cutting metal, etc.
  • Extinguish cigarette before disposing
  • Grilling is ok, just have a bucket of water or fire extinguisher nearby
  • No fireworks

Also, with high winds, secure things like tents, canopies, and everything that could fly away into power lines that could cause power outages.
