Pasadena Issues New Red Flag Warning and Parking Restrictions through Wednesday Evening

City Fire Chief Chad Augustin has directed the activation of Red Flag Parking Restrictions in Pasadena again until 6 p.m. on Wednesday, January 15.

The decision was based on the critical fire weather conditions. A further extension of the Red Flag Day is possible.

Parking is restricted on posted narrow or winding roads within Pasadena’s urban-wildland interface areas, in order to allow improved fire department access and resident evacuation.

Vehicles on restricted roads will be cited and towed.

Additional information, including the complete list of streets with restricted parking, is available at CityOfPasadena.net/Fire/Red-Flag-Parking-Restrictions.

City officials also said that now is 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.
