Incident Information Line 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.: 

• Public Line: (626) 662-0120
• Media Line: (323) 881-2450

Current Situation: Firefighters worked tirelessly overnight to secure containment lines and put out hot spots. The hard work of fire crews successfully contained a slop-over on the north-west edge of the fire. On the southern flanks of the fire, crews engaged in structure protection efforts, improved contingency lines, and tactically patrolled the fire perimeter.

The Red Flag Warning will remain in effect until 10:00 a.m. today. There will be a directional change in the winds moving from Santa Ana conditions to onshore winds this afternoon. This may create erratic shifts that crews are prepping for to immediately and aggressively attack any new problem areas. The hard and diligent work of fire crews is creating progress despite extreme fire behavior, steep terrain, and low humidities.  

Firefighters will remain available within Castaic, Santa Clarita and any communities that may be potentially threatened by the fire.
