What counts as a wildfire warnings
Wildfire warnings combine a fire danger rating with active fire alerts and evacuation orders. Fire weather depends on temperature, humidity, wind and the state of vegetation, so a red flag or catastrophic rating can be issued before any fire exists. Evacuation levels and "leave now" orders come from the fire or civil protection authority, not from the weather service.
