Fire weather

What is a Red Flag Warning?

The National Weather Service issues a Red Flag Warning when strong wind, low humidity and dry plants come together. Any spark — from a campfire, a cigarette or a dragging trailer chain — can start a fire that spreads very fast. A Fire Weather Watch means these conditions are possible in the next 12 to 72 hours.

Don’t burnNo outdoor burning or fireworks.

Watch for sparksSecure trailer chains, don’t park on dry grass.

Stay alertKeep your phone charged for alerts.

Safety

If a wildfire is near you: Ready, Set, Go

READYBefore a firePack a go-bag with documents, medicine and chargers. Clear dry leaves and branches near your home. Know two ways out of your area.

SETWhen a fire is nearbyPut the go-bag in the car, park facing out, and keep pets close. Follow local officials and the news radio.

GOLeave earlyLeave as soon as officials tell you to — or earlier if you feel unsafe. Don’t wait to see the flames.

For smoke: stay indoors with windows closed, run an air purifier if you have one, and check the air quality before going outside.

Wildfire questions

Are there fires in Prince Edward Island right now?

NASA satellites detected no heat sources in Prince Edward Island in the last 24 hours, and 1 in the last 72 hours.

Is there a Red Flag Warning in Prince Edward Island?

No Red Flag Warning or Fire Weather Watch is in effect in Prince Edward Island right now. The National Weather Service issues them when wind, low humidity and dry plants make fires spread fast.

What is a satellite fire detection?

NASA satellites pass over North America several times a day and flag spots that are much hotter than their surroundings. Most are fires, but some are planned burns, gas flares or factories. A new detection can appear within a few hours.

How far can wildfire smoke travel?

Hundreds or even thousands of miles. That is why the air quality can drop even when no fire is close.

Where can I find evacuation orders?

Evacuation orders come from your county or local emergency office. Follow them first, and use this map to see where fires are.
