ALAMEDA COUNTY, CA The Alameda County Fire Department will soon launch a red flag warning system to notify residents that weather conditions are ripe for wildfire.
Red flags that read Fire Weather will be flown beneath the American flag at Alameda County Fire stations during periods of hazardous fire conditions, the department announced Monday. They will not be flown when flags are ordered to be flown at half-mast, which means no other flags except the United States flag should be flown.

Starting this month, two dozen fire stations around Alameda County will hoist flags during dangerous fire weather conditions.
The fire weather flags are aimed to warn the public on Red Flag Warning days to refrain from activities that could inadvertently ignite fires. Those activities include yard work with combustion engine equipment, discarding smoking materials, and driving or parking on grassy areas.
