Red Flag Warning in effect today for Williams and Tusayan Districts
Williams, Ariz., April 22, 2016—For Immediate Release. The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for today from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. that covers the
Williams 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 Williams 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.
