The National Weather Service issued a red flag warning for multiple regions in the Bay Area due to low humidity, breezy winds, and highly flammable vegetation.
Officials advised residents to create an emergency plan as any fire could rapidly spread, emphasizing that conditions are conducive for quick fire ignition.
According to meteorologist Roger Gass, while wind gusts are low-end, the extreme dryness of grasses necessitated the red flag warning issued on Friday.
The ongoing heat wave, with temperatures soaring into the triple digits, has left vegetation critically dry, thereby heightening the risk of wildfires.
