Pasadena City Continues To Monitor Bobcat Fire

Press release from the City of Pasadena:

September 10, 2020

PASADENA, Calif.—The City of Pasadena continues to closely monitor the Bobcat Fire in Angeles National Forest. Yesterday, winds pushed the fire to the east across Highway 39. There remains no immediate threat to Pasadena; however, conditions could change rapidly, so please stay prepared in the event you need to evacuate. Preparation tips and an emergency supply checklist can be found in LA County Fire Department's Ready, Set, Go Guide.

Right now winds are blowing wildfire smoke in our direction, causing unhealthy air quality. Protect yourself and loved ones by:

• Wearing a face mask outdoors

• Closing all windows

• Running an air purifier/ running AC on “recirculate” setting

• Avoiding outdoor activity

• Bringing pets indoors

Residents should register for the Pasadena Local Emergency Alert System (PLEAS) to receive voice, email and/or text emergency notifications. Notifications are targeted to geographic areas. Subscribers will receive an alert if action is required of residents in their community, such as evacuation.

We also recommend registering with the Alert LA County mass notification system.

The City will continue to provide updates as the situation evolves and more information becomes available. You can also follow @Angeles_NF, @LACOFD, and @PasadenaGov on Twitter for incident updates.
