🚩RED FLAG WARNING – YREKA 🚩

A Red Flag Warning has been issued for Central Siskiyou County, from 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM today, Monday, August 31.

A Red Flag Warning indicates that critical fire weather conditions are present or expected, increasing the potential for rapid fire ignition and spread.

Residents are encouraged to continue taking extra precautions to help prevent wildfires:
🚫 Avoid outdoor burning, including burn piles and debris burning.
🔥 Do not use equipment that could create sparks near dry vegetation.
🚬 Never discard ci******es or other smoking materials on the ground.
⛓️ Secure trailers, chains, and other equipment that could produce sparks.
🏡 Keep your property clear of dry vegetation and combustible materials.

Please remember: One spark can become a wildfire. With dry vegetation, low humidity, and strong winds, even a small ignition can become dangerous very quickly.

Stay safe, stay alert, and avoid activities that could start a fire!

BIKE RODEO EVENT! 🚲

The Yreka Police Department will be hosting a bicycle rodeo event at Miner Street Park, tomorrow from 5pm-7pm! The event will be held near the skatepark.

This will a great opportunity for kids to learn about bike safety and we will be giving away goody bags and some helmets as well.

Additionally, throughout the day, officers will be handing out “citations” to children we see riding their bicycles WITH helmets on. These “citations” will be good for one free ice cream at Bella Art Works Creative Cafe! We are greatly appreciative for their contribution in rewarding kids for riding safely!

We hope to see you there and hope to see you out, riding safely! 🚲
