The Berkeley Fire Department declared a state of extreme fire weather, urging residents in the Berkeley Hills to evacuate due to dangerous fire conditions.
This designation is triggered by wind speed and humidity levels that could lead to rapid fire spread, marking the first such warning since 2021.
The current extreme fire weather conditions exceed the typical Red Flag trials, reminiscent of rare conditions last seen in October 2020.
Emergency protocols have been activated, including the positioning of additional firefighters and increased police patrols to address the heightened fire risk.
