This will be residents with ID only.  Deputies will be checking identification to see if people traveling through the area reside in the above listed areas.

No live stock will be allowed back into the area for at least 24 hours after the population of residents.

No large vehicles, such as trailers, RV’s, horse trailers or other oversized vehicle will be allowed into the area.  Fire officials still have large vehicles traveling along those streets and require adequate space to travel.

Small pets, such as dogs, cats, etc. can return home with you.

Residents in the Las Lomas area in the city of Duarte who live north of Willowglen Drive are still under evacuation. 

Residents of the Mesa Area in the city of Duarte are still under evacuation. This includes residents who live on Mount Olive Drive north of Woodlyn Lane, Spinks Canyon, Rim Road, Golden Meadow Drive, and High Mesa Drive.

We still have approximately 69 Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department personnel deployed at the fires with 33 deputies securing the evacuated areas.

Updated evacuation numbers are as follows:

1326 homes have been evacuated. This includes 326 homes in the city of Azusa and 950 homes in the City of Duarte. So far, out of those evacuated in the City of Duarte, Approximately 694 homes were able to return home. The remaining homes were evacuated from the San Gabriel Mountain Communities. Due to the fact the City of Bradbury was not under any evacuation orders, no evacuation numbers have been collected.

In the city of Bradbury our major area of concern continues to be the hillside of Bradbury residential area. We currently have Deputies on patrol on “fire watch” to assist in spotting fire in case the wind shifts towards this residential area.

There are no other mandatory evacuations required at this time. However, that can change based on the conditions of the fire.

We ask that the residents of Bradbury and the north east residential areas of Monrovia remain vigilant and ensure they are prepared for evacuations in the event they become necessary. They are not needed at this time.

If additional evacuations become necessary, you are reminded to bring medications, important documents, and emergency supplies in case you are away from your residence for a prolonged period.

Those city residents who have evacuated are asked to seek shelter at the Duarte Community Center located at 1610 Huntington Drive in the city of Duarte.

Small animals can also be taken to the Community Center. The County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control has temperature controlled trailers at the location for pets.

Large animals and livestock can now be taken to Hansen Dam Equestrian Center located at 11127 Orcas Ave, Sylmar, CA 91342.
