Alert

Law enforcement continues to patrol areas in Evacuation Warning - North of Grandview Avenue. No curfew.

Earlier today the City updated Evacuation Orders down to Warning. With this update, the curfew was cancelled. The National Guard will remain in Sierra Madre to assist with protecting our village.

Some homes remain without power. Southern California Edison (SCE) is working to restore power to Sierra Madre, but some lines are damaged and require additional work.

There are currently four active wildfires burning in Los Angeles County, driven by extreme winds and weather conditions. Nearly 40,000 acres have burned and it's estimated that more than 12,000 structures have been damaged or destroyed. At least 16 people have lost their lives and searches are continuing.
WEATHER OUTLOOK: Critical fire weather conditions will continue through the middle of next week with little relief. Red Flag Warnings are now in effect for portions of Los Angeles and Ventura counties and these warnings continue to bring life-threatening, destructive, and widespread winds that can result in downed trees, power outages, and high risk for large fires with very rapid spread, extreme behavior, and long-range spotting.
WILDFIRE UPDATE: As of 1/12/25
