Sierra Madre Bobcat Fire update for the evening of September 15, 2020. 
 
Work continued throughout the day on the Bobcat Fire and the fire remained mostly in check.  There was a seven-acre spot fire at the bottom of Santa Anita Canyon as well as a spot fire on Harvard Ridge, adjacent to the dozer line. Both of these spot fires were addressed. 
 
The City has extended the order in the canyon areas requiring residents to keep streets clear of all vehicles, property, and debris for an additional 24 hours. The extension of this Order will allow fire personnel to continue their work fortifying the fire defense of the canyon areas.
 
Work will continue through the night with heavy equipment and apparatus in the City, night-time reconnaissance work, and firing out in the ridges above Sierra Madre. The firing out may lead to smoke or flames visible from the City.
 
Residents in the evacuated area east of Santa Anita and north of Elkins remain under evacuation order.  A meeting with Incident Command will take place tomorrow afternoon to determine when repopulation can occur.
 
This is the last planned update on the Bobcat Fire for Sierra Madre for this evening unless conditions change.  The next update will go out tomorrow morning.
