🚨🔥 RED FLAG WARNING – THURSDAY (NOON–6 PM) 🔥🚨

The Rensselaer County Bureau of Public Safety is advising all residents that a Red Flag Warning is in effect this Thursday from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM.

What does this mean?
A Red Flag Warning is issued when weather conditions are just right for fires to start and spread rapidly. This typically includes:

Very low humidity
Dry fuels (leaves, brush, grass)
Gusty winds

Put simply—any spark can turn into a fast-moving fire in seconds.

Why this matters:
During Red Flag conditions:

Fires spread faster than crews can contain them
Embers can travel and ignite multiple spot fires
What starts as something small can quickly threaten homes, property, and lives

🚫 IMPORTANT REMINDER – BURN BAN IN EFFECT 🚫

There is already a burn ban in place for a reason—and during a Red Flag Warning, the risk is even greater.

👉 ALL outdoor burning should be avoided
—even activities that might normally be permitted under the burn ban.

This includes:

Brush burning
Fire pits
Campfires
Burning debris

👨‍🚒 Help Us Keep Our Community Safe

We don’t want to be knocking on a door delivering bad news because of a preventable fire. Conditions like this leave zero margin for error.

✅ Dispose of smoking materials properly
✅ Avoid anything that could create sparks
✅ Report any signs of fire immediately by calling 911

Stay aware, stay cautious, and help protect your neighbors and first responders.
