A Red Flag Warning has been issued for Henry County.
The National Weather Service has placed Henry County under a Red Flag Warning for today, Tuesday, February 18, 2026 in effect until 8 p.m.
A Red Flag Warning means critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now or will shortly. Gusty winds, low humidity, and dry vegetation can combine to create rapid fire spread.
Residents are strongly urged not to burn during this time. Any outdoor burning could quickly get out of control.
Officials ask everyone to avoid open flames, properly dispose of cigarettes, and report any signs of fire immediately. Remember, during a warning, you should suspend all outdoor burning, avoid using equipment that creates sparks (like lawnmowers or welding tools), do not park on or drive through dry grass, and do not dispose of cigarette butts outside.
