Quick Reaction Force (QRF) Helicopter 76 captured these images. The heat signature of the fire is visible in the second photo. OCFA and QRF helicopters are invaluable assets, not only for firefighting but also for providing intelligence to our firefighters on the ground.

Cell phones across Orange County may have received an emergency alert for an evacuation warning. This is likely related to the #KennethFire in the West Hills area of Los Angeles and does not affect Orange County. There is no threat to Orange County.
