Red Flag Warnings Impact Central Wyoming, Hawaii Wildfire Zones

Multiple Red Flag Warnings are in effect across parts of Wyoming and Hawaii due to critical fire weather conditions characterized by strong winds, low relative humidity, and dry fuels that can contribute to rapid fire spread. In Wyoming, warnings cover central, southwest, and west central fire zones with southwest winds up to 30 mph and humidity as low as 6 percent. Hawaii faces extended Red Flag Warnings for leeward sides of all islands, particularly Kaua‘i County and the Big Island, with east winds up to 50 mph and humidity dropping to 35-45 percent. Hawaii officials, including Gov. Josh Green and local agencies, emphasize human activity as the primary cause of nearly all wildfires and urge residents and visitors to avoid fire-starting activities, adhere to no-burn periods, and remain vigilant to prevent ignitions. The Kaua‘i Fire Department specifically advises against mechanized equipment use outdoors, driving on dry grass, and recommends reporting any smoke or fire immediately. These warnings underscore the heightened wildfire risks during this season and the shared responsibility to protect communities and natural resources.
