Sierra Madre Bobcat Fire Update evening September 16, 2020:
The current status of the fire for Sierra Madre is that all contingency lines have held the fire in check.  Fire crews have worked diligently today in the rough and steep terrain to establish perimeter lines that are intended to contain the southern portion of the fire.
Once the perimeter lines are complete, crews will monitor to make sure the lines have held.  After validation, these perimeter lines will become a portion of the overall containment of the Bobcat Fire.   
Today the evacuation orders for Sierra Madre residents east of Santa Anita Ave. and north of Elkins Ave. were lifted.  However, Sierra Madre remains under evacuation warning at this time.  
The order requiring streets to remain clear in the canyon areas of all vehicle, property, and debris expired at 6:00 pm.  Red flag parking restrictions in the canyon areas will remain in place indefinitely. 
When the Bobcat Fire first started, there was no imminent threat to Sierra Madre and informational updates on the fire were focused on the overall condition and status of the fire.  As the Bobcat Fire moved toward Sierra Madre, communications became more frequent and detailed as it pertained to the Sierra Madre community.   As the threat to Sierra Madre is diminished, communications will once again decrease.  The City will not communicate via Nixle Alerts unless there is an immediate threat or substantial change to the status of the Bobcat Fire in regards to Sierra Madre.
The City will provide additional updates on the Bobcat Fire after daily Incident Command briefings.
