From 1:00pm until 8:00pm on Tuesday, October 29, 2024, Fishers is under a Red Flag Warning. This warning actually encompasses a large area north of interstate 70 in Indiana.
A Red Flag Warning indicates that the weather conditions are prime for fires. In this case there is a combination of relatively low humidity, strong winds, and warmer temperatures that can contribute to extreme fire behavior. With the low amount of rain, the area is dry, so if a fire sparks, it could quickly spread.
Winds are expected to be 20 to 25 mph today, plus there could be gusts up to 40 mph. With humidity as low as 30 percent and temperature expected to reach the low 80s, the National Weather Service has issued this warning.
You can find more rules regarding residential open burning at the Indiana Department of Environmental Managment site. You should also check local Fishers ordinances before burning.
