Very High wildfire danger
Very warm temperatures through the weekend, combined with a lack of precipitation, has elevated the wildfire danger to very high. Although a possible reprieve in weather may happen toward the end of the week, there are still several days of hot and dry conditions expected and the wildfire danger will remain elevated.
Please follow the rules of the fire ban and help us avoid sending critical resources to preventable wildfires. If you see signs of fire, please report it to 310-FIRE (3473). The sooner firefighters can respond the sooner they can begin bringing it under control.
