Fire watch upgraded to red flag warning resulting in chance of PSPS threats
Several fires swept through dry brush and vegetation in Santa Clarita. Firefighters tried to protect the community by using water drops. As a result, several homes were damaged. A fire also scorched five to seven acres in the Lake Hughes area.
Fire crews were able to slow the forward progress of flames by nightfall. But the fire was still a threat on Thursday morning, with firefighters calling for residents to stay indoors and avoid outdoor activities that could ignite new fires.
As a result of the hot and dry conditions, the fires had a greater chance of spreading. Firefighters said that dry vegetation and hot exhaust were making contact, resulting in an increase in flames. The National Weather Service issued a red flag warning on Sunday, indicating that the weather would likely be very dry and dangerous.

Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy opens fire on a person in Santa Clarita Valley
Earlier this week, a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputy opened fire on a man in the Santa Clarita Valley. No deputies were injured in the shooting. But this incident is raising questions about the use of firearms on moving vehicles. The Sheriff’s Department has recently tightened its rules regarding shooting into moving vehicles.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has a policy that states that only “extraordinary” circumstances can justify shooting into a moving car. It is considered an ineffective practice, and New York police ceased shooting into moving cars in the 1970s. In the past five years, the Sheriff’s Department has had at least 28 incidents where deputies shot into moving cars.
This incident occurred when the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputy was responding to a burglary that was in progress. The man involved was armed with a knife, and the deputy opened fire. The man was killed in the shooting.

Investigators are still looking for a motive for the attack. They also said that the incident is not likely to affect traffic in the area. The department did not release the name of the man killed in the incident. The first deputy to arrive at the scene fired a pistol shot from five to 10 feet away.
