associated with these drainages, especially at those points where

especially at risk. Impacts could extend at least to Picacho, New

other loose materials.

           producing flash flooding in and around the Blue 2,

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

This is a life threatening situation. Heavy rainfall will cause

in the Blue 2, South Fork and McBride Burn Scar. Severe debris flows
can also be anticipated across roads. Roads and driveways may be
washed away in places. If you encounter flood waters, climb to

vulnerable drainages in and downstream of the South Fork and Salt
fire burn area.

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the
dangers of flooding.
