City of Pasadena Issues Red Flag Warning and Parking Restrictions

PASADENA, Calif.- Pasadena Fire Chief Chad Augustin has directed the activation of Red Flag Parking Restrictions within the city. This alert is effective from 4 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 6, through 6 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 7. The alert can be extended based on weather conditions.

A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions are expected. This, in combination with dry fuels, could create extreme fire danger and/or fire behavior. Please use caution with potential fire sources.

To allow for improved fire department access and resident evacuation, parking is restricted on posted narrow and/or winding roads within Pasadena's urban-wildland interface areas. Please make alternative parking plans before the red flag is in effect. Vehicles on restricted will be cited and towed. Additional fire patrols have been added to our Foothill areas. Additional information, including the complete list of streets with restricted parking, is available at CityOfPasadena.net/Fire/Red-Flag-Parking-Restrictions.

Now's the time to review your evacuation plans and make sure emergency kits are stocked with everything you need should you have to evacuate. Visit ReadyforWildfire.org for more information on preparing for and preventing wildfires.

If you haven't already, please register for the Pasadena Local Emergency Alert System (PLEAS) to receive voice, email and/or text emergency notifications. PLEAS messages are only sent in the event of imminent danger where action, such as evacuation, is required.

Once you've registered with PLEAS, we also recommend registering with the County's Alert LA County mass notification system.
