Strong gusty winds and low humidity is why this red flag was called," said Cal Fire Spokesperson Jason Clay.
Red Flag conditions already had Cal Fire on alert. Its fire stations are fully staffed, and a Sky Crane chopper just arrived for the season at the Santa Rosa Air Base, capable of dropping 2,600 gallons of water on a fire.
Firefighters say a wind-driven grass fire was sparked Sunday morning off Hwy 680 in Martinez. Firefighters stopped it at one acre. The Battalion chief expects his crews to be busy for the next 24 hours.
