Today is a Red Flag warning. Check out the safety information below.

🚩 RED FLAG WARNING

The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for portions of Contra Costa County from 11:00 PM Wednesday through 9:00 AM Thursday due to a combination of strong winds and low humidity.

These conditions create an environment where any spark can quickly ignite a fire and lead to rapid fire spread and extreme fire behavior.

Safety Tips:
-Avoid activities that could create sparks, including welding, grinding, or using equipment in dry vegetation.
-Do not park vehicles on dry grass. Hot exhaust systems can ignite vegetation.
-Properly dispose of ci******es and smoking materials, never toss them from a vehicle.
-Delay mowing or using string trimmers in dry grass during the warning period.

🐐🚧 Concord's furry fire-prevention specialists are back on the job.

Starting June 6, our goat crew will begin their annual vegetation management work at Markham Nature Park. In partnership with Capra Environmental Services, these four-legged landscapers will spend the next 4–6 weeks munching their way through overgrown vegetation to help reduce fire hazards throughout the city.

As the goats rotate through parks, trails, creeks, and open spaces, feel free to stop by and watch them work—but please remember:
⚡ Stay outside the temporary electric fencing
🚫 Please do not pet or feed the goats

The herd will be visiting several locations this season, including Willow Pass Park, Hillcrest Park, Markham Nature Park, Newhall Park, Brazil Quarry Park, the Montecito Lake area, and more.

Thank you for helping keep our community—and our hardworking goats—safe. 🐐
