Firefighters will raise red flags at fire stations in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties to warn residents of extreme fire weather, as warnings are issued by the National Weather Service. These Red Flags, created by the Diablo FireSafe Council, are part of the effort to make homes and communities safer from wildland fire. (more)
