Advisory: Red Flag Fire Warning. Chaney Trail and Millard Campground closes this weekend. Fire restrictions in Forest.

Starting this evening the United States Forest Service has recommended Millard Canyon Campground along with many portions of the Angeles National Forest to be under red flag fire watch. The conditions could exist in the next 12-72 hours. A Red Flag Warning is the highest alert. During these times, extreme caution is urged by all residents because fires are more likely to ignite and those that do are more likely to spread rapidly and be more difficult to control, therefore the area will be closed and the Chaney trail gate remain locked. The area is closed to vehicles however pedestrians / hikers are still able to visit the area.

Also the Angeles National Forest will be under fire restriction starting today, asking people not to build maintain or attend any campfire, fire, or stove fire within the forest boundary.
We thank everyone for their cooperation.
