LA County residents to face evacuation warnings due to risks of mudslides and debris flows
The evacuation warnings are being issued for what LAFD describes as a "high" risk for mudslides and debris flows and will be in place for burn-scarred areas of the Palisades, Sunset and Hurst Fires, which all broke out last month in different parts of the county. They will be in effect from 7 a.m. Thursday until 2 p.m. Friday, according to LAFD.
Burn scars have been a major point of concern for authorities bracing for this week's storm since the wildfire-scorched terrain is particularly vulnerable to mudslides, landslides and debris flows when hit by intense rain.
LAFD said homes within the warning area that are at particularly high risk will be visited by Los Angeles Police Department officers to be placed under mandatory evacuation orders.
The evacuation warnings will be in effect in the following areas for each of the wildfire sites.
Palisades Fire: Getty Villa area, Bienveneda area near Temescal Canyon Park, the Reseda Boulevard /Marinette Road area near Will Rogers State Park, Mandeville Canyon above Tanners Road and Highlands near the burned areas.
Sunset Fire: East and south of Runyon Canyon.

Crews battle fire at battery storage facility in South Los Angeles
A fire at a battery storage facility in South Los Angeles turned into a tough battle for crews early Sunday morning. According to the Los Angeles Fire Department, the blaze was reported at 4:33 a.m. at 16208 South Vermont Street, adjacent to the border between L.A. and the city of Gardena. The LAFD initially entered a defensive firefighting mode due to large battery storage and a subterranean electrical vault in the building. Large amounts of the battery storage was burning off as of 9 a.m., creating an issue for firefighters and the nearby community, the LAFD said. Hazmat specialists were on site as of 8 a.m. to monitor the air quality and water runoff. The L.A. Department of Water and Power was on-scene working to de-energize the structure. As of 9 a.m., no evacuations have been ordered for nearby businesses and residences. The LAFD said the primary goal of the fight was to keep the fire contained to the building of origin. No additional details were immediatley made available.
