The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning effective Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the evening for the following districts: North Kohala, South Kohala, North Kona, Hawaii Island Interior, Ka‘u.
A Red Flag Warning means that a combination of critical conditions such as strong gusty trade winds, dry fuel, low relative-humidity, and warm temperatures could produce extreme fire behavior.
Any fires that develop likely will spread rapidly and be difficult to control.
Due to these conditions, the following actions will be prohibited:
— Any activity that involves using open flames such as grilling and camp fires.
— Do not park cars on dry grass after a trip.
