"Extreme Heat Sparks Red Flag Warnings and Urges Fire Safety Precautions"

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the National Weather Service have issued a Red Flag warning due to soaring temperatures, low humidity, and strong winds, creating conditions for fires. The warning aims to discourage burning in high-risk areas, particularly in central and southwestern counties. The humidity levels in many counties are below 25%, and with dry vegetation and gusty winds, the chance of fires starting and spreading quickly is significantly higher.
