A FIRE WEATHER WATCH will begin at 6:00PM tonight and will remain in effect through 6:00PM Sunday night. Moderate to strong Santa Ana winds are likely to return Tuesday and Wednesday, creating critical fire weather conditions.

Please be advised: An inaccurate social media post is currently circulating on Facebook. The post claims that individuals can come to California to join a clean-up crew in areas affected by recent LA wildfires. This information is false, and we would like to clarify that there is no such opportunity available. We kindly ask that you refrain from calling to inquire about this.
