Full Notification

The fire jumped over the contingency line and is burning on the ridgeline above the east side Little Santa Anita Canyon. You will notice two prominent smoke columns at the top of the canyon right now. The City will be issuing an order in the next hour directing all properties in the canyon to remove any vehicles, personal property, debris, or any other object that is in the public right of way. 

Any property in the public right of way will be removed or towed beginning at 6:00 P.M. tonight.

This evening, you will see fire personnel, police personnel, and public safety equipment in the streets preparing to fortify the canyon and make a final defense in an attempt to stop the fire from burning into these areas.

In addition to this order, because the fire has changed, we will be updating our evacuation maps to expand the evacuation area to include properties outside of the canyon. 

These orders and updates have been prepared and will be released soon.

Sierra Madre remains under an evacuation warning. The only evacuation order currently is for properties east of Santa Anita and north of Elkins.

Definitions of evacuations are described as followed:

Evacuation Warning - Residents should have evacuation plans in place, their emergency evacuation supplies organized, and their essential personal belongings accessible, in the event that an Evacuation Order is enforced.

Evacuation Order - Residents must evacuate immediately due to dangerous wildfire conditions. 

Please be ready to evacuate.
