The National Weather Service has extended red flag warnings for Mecosta, Lake, Osceola, Mason, Clare, Oceana and Newaygo counties. The warning is in effect until 8 p.m. Sunday.
A red flag warning means that critical fire conditions are occurring. These conditions include low relative humidity, warm temperatures and strong winds.
The NWS recommends avoiding activities that may involve a spark or fire, such as campfires, grilling, using a chainsaw and using all-terrain vehicles that may throw a spark.
If a fire were to start, current weather conditions could cause a fire to burn out of control and spread.
