Full Notification

Overnight the fire jumped the road 1/8-mile north of the Water Tank turnout above the dam and burned approximately 300 acres. At midnight the fire was burning from the bottom of Santa Anita Canyon to the peak. As of 5:00 a.m. this morning, the fire is burning south of the water tower above the road and holding in the canyon bottom behind the dam keeper’s house.
 
It is unclear if the fire made it to the top over the bulldozer lines. Flames may be seen north of the canyon today, however, there is still plenty of terrain between the fire and the canyon. On the east-end (Wilderness Park/Clamshell Dam area), the fire looks good and crews finished yesterday’s burnout operation late last night. They will be doing additional burn operations this morning in the mouth of Santa Anita Canyon.
 
Today, there are two Type 1 strike teams and one Type 6 (10 engines and 5 Patrols) assigned to Sierra Madre and an additional Type 1 strike team available, if needed. Additionally, Arcadia and Monrovia Fire Departments are providing a single engine and a water tender, respectively, for the City of Sierra Madre. Moreover, Sierra Madre has staffed an auxiliary engine (E241) to aide in fire support. ­­
 
Engine 41 and Rescue Ambulance 41 remain available to respond to the daily needs of the City.
