RED FLAG ALERT: Extreme dry, hot weather has triggered a Red Flag Alert thru 5pm today. Do not park on hillside streets.
The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag warning through 5 p.m. Wednesday.
The warning has been issued for Los Angeles County foothills and mountains.
Critical fire weather conditions are expected throughout the day including “a combination of strong winds, low relative humidity and warm temperatures (that) will create extreme fire behavior.
The LAFD and the Department of Transportation have determined there is the potential to create a choke point in only the specific areas identified by Red Flag signs. These areas involve narrow enough roads, and tight enough turns, that the delivery of emergency services could be impossible when vehicles are parked on these roads. In other areas of the city, this is not the case.
