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

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.
