Additionally, all sources of outdoor open flames including outdoor gas appliances such as pressurized gas fire pits, grills and portable stoves are not permitted during Red Flag Warnings. Red Flag Warnings are issued by the National Weather Service to indicate critical fire weather conditions are occurring or imminent. Outdoor pressurized gas appliances are allowed during non-Red Flag Warning days. | tahoelivingwithfire.com
