Bobcat Fire Update at 1:30PM on September 14, 2020

The Bobcat Fire remains active in the foothills above Sierra Madre, in the area west of Santa Anita Canyon and the Santa Anita Dam, in heavy-fuel and steep terrain. 

The Fire has bumped over the contingency-line that was put in place north of the canyon areas using dozers, hand crews, and phos-chek (fire retardant).

Fire crews have started prepping the canyon areas should the fire eventually reach that point. You will see firefighters with chainsaws limbing up trees and vegetation to create better access for firefighting equipment.
