What steps should you follow during a red flag warning?

If burning is permitted in your area, all burn barrels must have a weighted metal cover with holes no larger than 3/4 of an inch.Do not dispose of lit cigarette butts outdoors, and avoid tossing cigarettes or matches out of a moving vehicle. Such actions could potentially ignite dry grass on the road’s edge and result in a wildfire.Properly put out all outdoor fires. Douse fires with a good amount of water and stir to ensure complete cooling. Submerge charcoal in water until thoroughly cooled. Avoid tossing live charcoal onto the ground and leaving it.Always supervise a fire. Sparks or embers can drift into leaves or grass, triggering a fire that can rapidly propagate.Refrain from parking or driving over tall grass. Avoid dragging tow chains along the ground.
