Red Flag Warning in effect today for North Kaibab and Tusayan Districts
Tusayan, Ariz., April 14, 2015—For Immediate Release. The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for today from noon to 8 p.m. that covers the
North Kaibab and Tusayan ranger districts of the Kaibab National Forest, as well as other areas of northern Arizona, due to strong winds and low relative humidity.
Visitors to the North Kaibab and Tusayan districts of the Kaibab National Forest are advised to refrain from having a campfire when Red Flag Warning conditions exist. This advisory covers all campfires across the districts,
including in developed campgrounds.
A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions are expected and that a combination of strong winds, low relative humidity and warm temperatures will create an increased potential for large fire growth.
The campfire advisory remains in effect until the Red Flag Warning ends.
The Kaibab National Forest is committed to educating visitors about their role in helping prevent unwanted, human-caused fires. Avoiding having campfires on windy days is one way they can do that.
For detailed weather information including warnings issued by the National Weather Service, visit

Kaibab National Forest website.
