Heat, More Fire Danger on the Way


Increased fire danger continues in the area this week as the weather warms up and combines with low humidity and gusty winds, according to the National Weather Service.
Angeles National Forest and Los Angeles County Fire Department officials warned of increased fire risk in the area last week due to dry weather and the presence of tall dry grass, Patch previously reported.

“Critical fire weather conditions” could come to the valleys and mountains of Los Angeles and Ventura Counties—including the San Gabriel Valley--Wednesday through Friday, the NWS warned.

Temperatures will peak Thursday and Friday with highs in the 90s.
