What is a 'Particularly Dangerous Situation' red flag warning and other wildfire terms
Briefly

A 'particularly dangerous situation red flag warning' has been issued for parts of Southern California, as more severe conditions threaten life and property due to ongoing wildfires.
The National Weather Service’s red flag warning signals extremely rare and dangerous fire weather conditions that have led to large and deadly wildfires in the past.
When the PDS term is attached to a warning, it indicates an even higher threat level to life and property, according to meteorologist Marc Chenard.
With recent fires consuming 38,000 acres and destroying over 12,000 structures, Southern California is facing exceptionally extreme weather that further elevates fire danger.
