Full Notification

The National Weather Service has upgraded the forecast for the East Bay Hills and inland valleys to a Red Flag Fire Weather Warning beginning Saturday at 9pm.  This means that critical fire weather conditions will be occurring from Saturday 9pm through Monday 8am.  A combination of strong winds, low relative humidity and warm temperatures can all contribute to extreme fire behavior and cause these hazardous conditions.

Residents should take precautions and consider the following:

• Avoid mowing or using equipment around dry grass; 
• Remember that MOFD has prohibited outdoor fires; 
• Do not park vehicles on or drive vehicles through dry grass; 
• Report suspicious activity; and
• If you are pulling a trailer, ensure that the chains are not dragging and causing sparks (this is how the Carr Fire started near Redding in 2018 and burned over 1600 structures).
