UPDATE (6/22/2016, 12:18 a.m.): We wanted to provide everyone with some quick information based on the most recent briefing information that was received a bit earlier this evening.

* The City remains cautiously optimistic that the San Gabriel Complex Fire will not impact Monrovia.

* The fire continues to move fairly slowly through areas of Duarte and Bradbury.

* Air support and fire break line construction efforts have been very effective today.

* The weather is expected to improve overnight, with lower temperatures and higher humidity, which should make the behavior of the fire more predictable.

* Throughout the evening, two (2) night-fly equipped helicopters will be making water drops.

* For tomorrow, the weather forecast calls for slightly cooler temperatures and relative humidity around 30%, which should result in the fire burning less aggressively.

* In order to provide residents with additional intel, the City has developed several informational materials available for download on our City website (www.cityofmonrovia.org), which include the following:

**A map depicting when the City would order an precautionary mandatory evacuation

**An evacuation location and phasing map

**An evacuation information and resource guide

**A FAQ sheet regarding evacuation procedures

It is important to reemphasize that we are cautiously optimistic that Monrovia will not be impacted by the fire, however, we continue to urge those residents living in the northeastern section of the City to remain ready to evacuate in the event that fire conditions change.

Should City officials determine at any point in time that the fire could impact residents or property in Monrovia, we will order precautionary mandatory evacuation for all impacted residents. Based on the current fire movement pattern, if the precautionary mandatory evacuations are ordered, it is estimated that the soonest that such an order would be issued is later in the day on Wednesday, June 22, 2016.

To that end, all residents living in the northeastern part of Monrovia are encouraged to remain vigilant and ready to evacuate. Should an evacuation order be given, we will be coordinating evacuation procedures as follows:

* First Evacuation Phase – all residents living east of Norumbega (where it parallels Sawpit Wash) and north of Greystone Avenue

* Second Evacuation Phase – all residents living east of Myrtle Avenue and north of Greystone Avenue, and east of Shamrock and north of Foothill

Here at the City, we have continued to keep additional Monrovia Fire Department personnel in town, and we have continued deployment of our operational plan that allows for all normal service delivery to occur while also setting up special fire support functions.

In addition, the City has continued to maintain the closure of Canyon Park, Trask Boy Scout Camp, and the Hillside Wilderness Preserve, and we have ensured that all City reservoirs are filled at 100% capacity in the event that we need to access water for firefighting activities.

Again, it is important to emphasize that based on the current fire movement patterns, we do not anticipate any precautionary mandatory evacuations being ordered tonight. We will continue to assess the situation throughout the evening, and if the situation changes, we have City personnel that will be deployed to your home to notify you of pending fire threats.

All residents are encouraged to remain vigilant and on alert. To stay up to date on the status of the overall situation here in Monrovia, we encourage everyone to check the City's website (www.cityofmonrovia.org)We will continue to post updates as the local fire conditions change.
