🚩 RED FLAG WARNING! 🚩 Fire weather conditions will be elevated across portions of Southern California this week. A Red Flag Warning is in effect from 10 AM Tuesday through 3 PM Friday for portions of Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo counties. Extreme heat, low humidity, unstable conditions, and locally gusty winds are expected. Together, these conditions can contribute to rapid fire spread and extreme fire behavior if a spark ignites. One less spark can make a difference. Avoid activities that could start a wildfire, stay fire aware, and know the conditions in your area. Monitor local alerts and be ready to act if a wildfire starts. Learn more at ReadyForWildfire.org. #RedFlagWarning #FireWeather #WildfireSafety #CALFIRE #CAwx @CALFIRE_SLO @SBCFireInfo @VCFD @LaCoFDPIO
