"This upcoming event is extreme," said Capt. Erik Scott, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Fire Department. "Many people think that when the winter months come they might be out of fire danger and that's simply not true, especially in Southern California."
Gusty, dry winds - some that could reach up to 100 mph - are forecast across much of Los Angeles and Ventura counties beginning Tuesday, and are expected to elevate the threat for fast-moving wildfires."
A rare, late-season red flag warning describing 'widespread, damaging ... and long-duration' fire weather conditions has been issued for the region through at least Thursday, with a possibility that it could be extended to Friday."
