Don’t let cooler weather fool you. 🍂

Fall has historically brought some of California’s largest and most destructive wildfires. Dry vegetation, wind, and low humidity can still create dangerous conditions.

Give your home a safety check:
🌿 Move combustible materials at least e.
🏠 Clear leaves and debris from roofs and rain gutters.
🔥 Check that vents are ember-resistant; this means 1/16-inch to 1/8-inch corrosion-resistant, non-combustible metal mesh designed to block wind-driven fire embers and flames from entering a structure’s attic, crawl space, or eaves during a wildfire.

Cooler weather doesn’t mean the wildfire threat is over. Stay vigilant, and don’t let your guard down.

TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN. 🚗🌊

LA County rain is expected for the next three days, and streets can flood fast. Find another route.

🔥 What does “forward progress stopped” mean?

When firefighters say a fire’s forward progress has been stopped, it means crews have stopped the fire from continuing to spread.

It does not mean the fire is out or contained. Firefighters still have work to do.
Crews continue ing control lines, putting out hotspots, and checking the fire’s perimeter to reduce the chance of it spreading again.

Even after a fire stops advancing, firefighters may remain on scene for hours or days to make sure the fire is under control.
