Seriously though, 99.5% of the time these “fire hazards” pop up, the “fires” don’t happen, making said fire hazard invalid.
What’s up with the National Weather Service anyway?

and if they don’t and a fire does start, chances of them being sued by some dumbass? very high to guaranteed.

a risk isn’t “invalid” just because the event doesn’t materialize. they don’t issue warnings just for the fun of it.

Jeez, it’s almost like a warning or something.

Fire hazard warnings are a way to remind dumbasses that building a fire in windy conditions is a dumb thing to do.
This reminds me of our neighbor in high school. He built a fire on his property (five acre lots) in windy conditions with no source of water but a small pond and coffee can. Seriously, he didn’t even have a well drilled yet.
It was fortunate I was sick since I was the only one in the neighborhood at home during the day. This was back before cell phones, so I was the one who called the fire department, then went out to help him. By the time I got there, the next neighbor’s fence was already on fire, so I went about using their water to save their house.
In the end, his little mistake burned several thousand acres. It was fortunate that no houses were lost.

Last week, almost the whole state of Florida was showing a “red flag alert” on NWS, indicating a high likelihood of fires.
And we did get a fire!
