Current Situation
Situation Summary
The Palisades Fire continues to exhibit wind-driven and topographic runs upslope, with short-range spotting. For today, the north to northeast winds will shift to the north but humidity will remain low. A RED FLAG WARNING is still in effect until 6:00PM. On Saturday, typical mid-January conditions are expected. Sunday and continuing through the middle of next week, weak to moderate Santa Ana winds are expected. There is a chance of strong winds Tuesday. There will continue to be a high likelihood of critical fire weather conditions through next week.
The Los Angeles County and CAL FIRE Damage Assessment Teams (DINS) will continue to assess and validate structures impacted by the Palisades Fire. It is expected that more than 5,000 structures have been destroyed.
The Los Angeles Unified School District has canceled classes for all schools Friday. Residents are encouraged to avoid nonessential travel to allow firefighters plenty of room to work.
Additionally, we have been made aware that there is an inaccurate social media post circulating on Facebook suggesting that people can come work in California as part of a clean-up crew in areas that burned in recent wildfires. There is no truth to this social media post, and there is no need to call and inquire.
