However, a fire weather watch remains in effect Tuesday evening through Thursday evening with gusty Santa Ana winds and very low relative humidity. Your lAFD has had a very busy 24 hours. There were three additional brush fires fueled by high winds and dry vegetation within the city. I am happy to report that all three fires were kept very small and involved Griffith Park, Granada Hills and the Tujunga areas. Due to the robust deployment models that included 64 additional resources and quick, decisive actions by lAFD firefighters, no homes were damaged or destroyed and no evacuation orders were issued. I normally pray for rain. God knows we generally need it, but right now, let me point out the obvious. The burn scar of the Palisades Fire not only sits feet from the ocean itself, but already on hillsides that are already prone to slide, and which have already absorbed a tremendous amount of water from firefighting. Broken pipes and melted pools. Adding water to this mess and saturated, unstable hillsides is the last thing we need. But we already know at some point it's going to happen. And let me remind folks, burn scars don't absorb water at a normal rate. They simply add to the risk of floods, landslides, and debris flow. Contaminants don't just stay where they fall. When it rains, they flow into our gutters and storm drains. Our creeks and waterways, and eventually our beaches and ocean. As the representative of LA's coastal district, I personally feel a profound responsibility to safeguard our city's most treasured, treasured and environmentally sensitive region. That's why last week, the City Council approved my motion instructing the Bureau of Engineering and LA sanitation to create a comprehensive waste mitigation and slope stabilization plan. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Dangerous Winds Return to Los Angeles Area, But Officials Keep New Fires Under Control So Far","description":"Firefighters are making progress on containing the wildfires that have been raging for weeks in Southern California.
