A Red Flag Warning is in effect for the Spokane area this weekend. That means the National Weather Service is seeing exactly what makes fires start easily and spread fast, such as low humidity, gusty wind, and dry fuels. It's not a prediction of fire, it's a warning that anything that sparks won't stay small.
Here's a quick rundown of what to do (and avoid) around your home this weekend. A few that matter most: no burning of any kind, no mowing or chainsaw work in dry grass, and clear a 5-foot zone around your house of anything flammable. If you have pets or livestock, decide now where they'd go and who hauls them, so it's not a scramble later.
Stay alert. Stay ready. 🧡
