Rose Schoenfeld, a National Weather Service meteorologist, emphasized that the threat of extreme fires continues: “This is a continued extreme fire weather and wind scenario.” She mentioned potential gusts of wind ranging from 45 mph to 70 mph, coupled with dangerously low humidity levels of just 5%. This combination increases the risk of rapid fire spread and extreme fire behavior, making the situation dire over the coming days.
Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley reassured residents of their preparedness, stating, 'I want to reassure you that your LAFD, all of our regional partners... we are ready.' With preparations underway, she's highlighted that fire crews, engines, and emergency support have been strategically positioned across Southern California to tackle any impending threats from the anticipated weather conditions.
