The Los Angeles Fire Department on Wednesday announced evacuation warnings that will take effect at 7 a.m. Thursday for areas in the city near recent burn areas due to high mudslide and debris flow risks.
Similar warnings were in place in Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties for burn scars.
The Los Angeles warnings impact:
—In the Palisades fire area: the Getty Villa area, Highlands near the burn areas, Bienveneda area near Temescal Canyon Park, Reseda Boulevard area/Marinette Road near Will Rogers State Park, and Mandeville Canyon above Tanners Road;
—In the Sunset fire area: east and south of Runyon Canyon;
—In the Hurst fire area: Olive Lane in the Oakridge Mobile Home Park.
Fire officials say specific homes considered to be at high risk will be subject to mandatory evacuation orders. Those residents will be contacted directly by the LAFD to be notified.
In Orange and Riverside counties, warnings were in place for the 2024 Airport fire burn scar.
In San Bernardino County, the Sheriff’s Department said evacuation warnings were issued for the Highland area, near the 2024 Line fire burn scar; and for Mt. Baldy and Wrightwood, near where the Bridge fire burned last year.
Not to worry. Newscum and Mayor Basshole are on the case.
I wonder if Mayor Bass will go the way Lori “Beetlejuice” Lightfoot went.
Live in SoCal!
Learn to love Government!
They’ll mismanage things and cause catastrophic events!
The catastrophic events they cause will set you up for more of the same!
When the next catastrophic event happens, they’ll force your ass to move out so the looters and squatters and illegals can move in!
LEARN TO LOVE BIG CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT!
LEARN TO BEND OVER AND GRAB YOUR ANKLES!
Enjoy your Californication, y’all.
(Why do y’all conservatives STAY in that demonic hellhole?)
California Uber Alles
Think of l.a. as a smaller democratic run fed. Govt.
Tax the people. Lie to them. Bribe votes with tax money. School teachers, city union workers, businesses with kickback contracts to city officials, and voting people who are having their illegal friends being supported by the city. Then cheating on the ballots. That’s why the city is on a downward spiral.
Fire not only kills vegetation, which holds the soil in place, but actually changes the chemistry of the soil.
The soil become very prone to erosion and mudslides during the rein.
It takes several years for the soil to return to the original state.

That has caused drought in two of our normally very rainy months.
The rain that usually falls in Seattle is pushed south into Oregon and California.
Judging from the weather maps, it looks like Los Angeles is going to have 12 inches of ash black muck on the ground in coming days.
Well, at least it will help with the drought. It will also help prevent more wildfires for the time being.
Just don't migrate to civilization. You've destroyed so much of what used to be beautiful, already. (Oregon, Washington, Colorado, New Mexico....)
I lived through the Rocky J / Hard Bargain fire in Central Texas of 2023. I’ve been on the side of Hard Bargain Mountain for 32 years. It has always been a battle with Mother Nature when we get what we Texans call “Turd Floaters”. With all of the ground cover gone and many new paths cut by bulldozers during the fire I have about given up trying to reroute water flow dumping tons of sediment in my yard and washing away much of my pasture.
Sorry to hear that.
I feel your pain!
The Woodbury fire in Superstition Mountains in AZ 2019 was followed by huge rock and mudslides. All because there was big storm about two weeks after the fire. The Apache trail road (St Rd 88) was covered by mud and rocks so badly, that it was closed, and finally reopened just now.
You should be about getting better, by now. The vegetation usually grows back pretty quickly, and the soil chemistry also changes back, slowly.
Yesterday several videos appeared on You Tube depicitng the start of Palisades fire debris removal by the Army Corps of Engineers.
There were at least a $ million of brand new excavators and other equipment on display. The COE was not there, however there was a COE contractor, Kewait, starting to work.
There were close ups of signs indicating that there were harmful air quality issues.
The first excavator began to pick up single pieces of burned debris and pile it up. In the foreground, there was a man covered up in his white plastic protective suit and wearing a mask while involved in the hazardous waste removal task. He had a hose and was squirting water on the burned debris.
It was all a serious California to the core, absolutely rotten, joke. There was no hazardous dust generated. It was raining. The project had hoses and water to prevent hazardous air pollution but the burned houses were there because the firemen had no water.
back in the day after a fire the hillsides were seeded with grass to stop the mudslides.. not any more.
