A Red Flag Warning is in effect through 5:00 p.m. today for gusty winds and low relative humidity, while a Wind Advisory is in effect until 3:00 p.m. The bulk of the winds are going to be above the ridge line beyond Duarte city limits. Crews will continue to actively monitor and patrol containment lines searching out heat along the perimeter. Patrols will occur along the northern portion of the fire to make sure communities are secure and to be alert for new activity. Engines will be available for smoke checks around the communities. Increased activity is anticipated within containment lines near Mount Wilson and Mount Lewis as the wind speeds increase and relative humidity decreases. The public can expect to see smoke columns in these areas as unburned fuels within the containment lines continue to consume. Crews will be working near Mount Lewis to reduce the spread of the fire and to keep it north of Route 2. They will also be working to secure the spot fire northwest of Bare Mountain. California Incident Management Team 1 is in the process of transitioning with a new incident management team who will take over the fire.   

EVACUATION ORDERS: • Paradise Springs – South of Big Pines Highway, east of Devil’s Punchbowl, west of Largo Vista Road, and north of the forest. • South and west of Upper Big Tujunga Canyon, east of Angeles Forest Highway, and north of Angeles Crest Highway. • Residences along Angeles Crest Highway, between Angeles Forest Highway and Highway 39.
