A brush fire burning in The Highlands has reached 30-plus acres and has prompted mandatory evacuation orders.
"There is a Mandatory Evacuation Order for all residents within the area bordered by Charmel Lane on the west, Bienveneda Avenue on the east, the end of Lachman Lane on the north and Merivale Lane on the south," LAFD reported.
The evacuation was ordered due to potential fire and smoke behavior as well as the arrival of a large, fixed-wing retardant dropping aircraft.
"Evacuating residents are asked to notify their neighbors of this Mandatory Evacuation Order, and to offer what evacuation assistance they can to neighbors who have mobility or functional needs," LAFD said.
