exceptionally dry fuels will create dangerous wildland fire
conditions. Campfires, outdoor grills, smoking materials,
fireworks, chain saws, and all-terrain vehicles all have the
potential to throw a spark and ignite a dangerous and destructive
fire.

Please advise the appropriate officials or fire crews in the
field of this Red Flag Warning.
