A red flag warning for Los Angeles and Ventura counties will last through at least Monday: Any fire that starts would be expected to spread rapidly.
Parking restrictions are in effect in parts of Los Angeles where fire officials have determined that roads need to be clear for potential evacuations — the latest precaution against possible wildfires as strong Santa Ana winds hit Southern California.
In Los Angeles, vehicles may be towed in areas where parked cars could pose a problem for firefighters or for evacuees needing to get out of the city quickly, such as very narrow roads, hairpin turns, tight curves and intersections that could create 'a choke point,' according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. Drivers can type an address into the fire department's website to see if the red flag parking restrictions, which are in effect until at least Monday morning, apply.
