Angeles National Forest Wildfire Near Glendora, CA

     A wildfire broke out in the Angeles National Forest just north of Glendora, CA  before dawn this morning.  As of this posting, 1700 acres had been consumed and several homes damaged.  There are unconfirmed reports of homes being destroyed, and photos of the area seem to verify these reports.  Residents in the vicinity of the fire are being evacuated.

     Southern California is experiencing a particularly dry winter and recent high winds are combining to create ideal fire conditions.  Under these conditions fires could break out anywhere and all area residents should trim shrubbery and remove dead or dry brush from their properties to help mitigate ignition sources and reduce chances of property damage in the event of a fire.  All hikers and outdoor enthusiasts should avoid the Glendora and surrounding areas due to heavy smoke and shifting wind conditions.  Once the fire is out, hikers should avoid the temptation to visit burn areas as the ground could be unstable.  Hiking in burn areas is also detrimental to the natural recovery of vegetation.  For more information on the fire follow this link: Colby Fire in Angeles National Forest near Glendora, CA
