Starting Thursday, a long-duration heat wave will affect interior areas through Monday, spreading into the valleys closer to the coast by Friday. Highs will peak between 100 to 110 degrees, and possibly higher, hottest over the LA County interior.
ALT Hot and very dry conditions will bring elevated fire weather conditions for interior areas into the weekend, potentially bringing rapid plume dominated fire growth with any new fire starts. Starting Thursday, a long-duration heat wave will affect interior areas through Monday, spreading into the valleys closer to the coast by Friday. Highs will peak between 100 to 110 degrees, and possibly higher, hottest over the LA County interior. Here are some recommended actions. Look before you lock! Check vehicle for children, elderly, or pets. Reduce exposure to heat and hydrate. Watch for heat related illnesses and seek medical attention. Take care with possible fire ignition sources such as fireworks and lawn care equipment.

Today we shine a light on the Granite Mountain Hotshots, a group of 19 heroic firefighters who tragically lost their lives battling the Yarnell Hill Fire in 2013. Please join us in honoring these heroes & their sacrifice protecting our communities.

Meet Dr. Zeller, a volunteer with VCFD’s US&R. She serves as a subject matter expert on technical large animal rescue calls, allows us as a Department and Regional Task Force to be more diverse in our capabilities when providing services outside normal operations to our citizens.

A quick video about recent events. If you approach standing or moving water: Turn around! Don’t drown! Just 6” of moving water can knock you off your feet.

Pretty big escalation in NorCal wildfire activity in exactly the spots you'd expect things to get going first based on max drought severity: in the heart of severe drought region near Shasta & along the Sierra/Coast Range foothills. A sampling of fire camera views. #CAwx #CAfire

Awesome images from last weeks photo shoot in #Camarillo - one of Ventura County’s new S-70i Firehawk Helicopters taken by Creigh Photo.
These aircraft are equipped with a 1000-gallon water tank, a rescue hoist, and night vision capabilities just to name a few components...
