Plentiful dry brush and whipping winds led Pasadena officials Monday to initiate emergency parking restrictions, which will continue until further notice in certain areas of the city, and add extra fire partrols to foothill areas.
Interim Fire Chief Bryan Frieders activated so-called Red Flag parking rules at 11 a.m., barring parking on narrow or winding roads in posted areas.
Additional information, including the complete list of streets with restricted parking, is available at cityofpasadena.net/fire/red-flag-parking-restrictions.
City officials are also urging residents to review their evacuation plans and get emergency kits prepped, and to make sure they are signed up for the Pasadena Local Emergency Alert System (PLEAS) to get voice, email and/or text notifications in case of an emergency.
