Refrain from any kind of outdoor burning today, as Hamilton County as well as many other counties in central and southern Indiana are under Red Flag Warnings.
From 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. today, emergency authorities are urging citizens to heed this warning to prevent fires, which could rapidly spread out of control due to gusty winds and relative humidity as low as 20 percent.
A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now or will shortly. A combination of strong winds, low relative humidity, and warm temperatures can contribute to extreme fire behavior.
Finally, DO NOT throw cigarettes out of a vehicle!
