Q: What is a Red Flag Day?
A: Red Flag Day is when weather conditions are such that the potential for a fast-moving brush fire is extremely high. The conditions are defined as wind speeds 25 mph or more and humidity 15% or less.
Q:How often will there be Red Flag Days?
A: Over the past ten years, the maximum number of Red Flag days was 12. The normal range of Red Flag days per year was between four to seven.
Q:How were the areas identified?
A: Local Station Commanders were asked to survey their districts and identify the areas that would create a problem for citizens while evacuating and for fire companies entering the area during a fast moving brush fire. Station Commanders were directed to identify narrow roads, tight curves, and critical intersections that would create choke points. The areas identified were reviewed by the Fire Department and Department of Transportation to make sure the criteria for posting was correct. Once identified, these areas were posted by the Department of Transportation.<
Q:Why are these areas only enforced on Red Flag Days?
A: There is an everyday potential to create a choke point in these areas that could impact the delivery of emergency services, but during normal operation the situation of mass exodus from a particular area is much less likely than during a brush fire situation. The operators of emergency vehicles will normally have more than one route into and out of an area and can direct companies to a location if one route is not accessible.
