Deadly Wildfires Prompt Longest Red Flag Warning In History

This time around firefighters are facing a seemingly insurmountable battle — the “Thomas” fire in Santa Barbara, Summerland and Montecito has burned more than 395 square miles, and is currently only 35% contained. It has claimed the lives of at least two people, one a firefighter, and has destroyed more than 900 buildings. This fire has contributed to an unprecedented 13-day long string of red-flag warnings from the National Weather Service. https://whowhatwhy.org/2017/12/16/deadly-wildfires-prompt-longest-red-flag-warning-history/
