Original press release is as follows:

__________________________________________

**There are two separate brush fires currently burning in Los Angeles County.  This advisement is for the “Fish Fire” in the City of Duarte.**

At approximately 12:30 today, Temple Sheriff’s Station Deputies and Los Angeles County Fire Department personnel responded to a brush fire in the area of Brookridge Road and Opal Canyon Road, Duarte. 

Although Los Angeles County Fire Department personnel are actively engaged in extinguishing the fire, it appears that the fire has spread north into the forest.  Out of an abundance of caution as well as the safety of the people living in the area, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies have begun to assist residents in the northeast area of Duarte in voluntary evacuations.

Affected residents are asked to seek shelter at the “Duarte Community Center,” 1610 Huntington Drive, Duarte.  Residents can also board their small animals at a school facility located at 1850 Highland Avenue, Duarte.  Large animals, including horses, can board at the Pomona Fairplex, 1101 W. McKinley Avenue, Pomona.

At this time, there are no reported road closures or power outages.
