Arson Suspect arrested at Pioneer Park, in Azusa.

The Gomez family quickly sprang into action last night, after a Good Samaritan knocked on their door to alert them about the fire.

The incident unfolded at approximately 11:30pm Friday evening, as the family quickly ran into Pioneer Park to asses the fire. While attempting to extinguish the fire, they noticed a male attempting to spark another section of the park on fire. They confronted the suspect, whom admitted to starting the initial fire. The suspect was quickly arrested by Officer Figueroa of the Azusa Police Department. The suspect was identified by the Azusa Police Department as Jose Carranza-Escobar.

🚨EVACUATE NOW!

There are significant firefighting resources staged in Topanga. However, with fire east of Sylvia Park plus intensifying northwest winds, the potential exists for a destructive fire moving through Topanga.

🚨 Evacuation Orders vs. Warnings 🚨

An Evacuation Order is mandatory: you shall leave immediately due to imminent danger (e.g., wildfire or flood). Ignoring this puts lives at risk and may interfere with emergency efforts.

An Evacuation Warning is a precaution: be prepared to evacuate if conditions worsen. While not mandatory, it’s strongly advised to get ready to leave for your safety.

These decisions are made solely to protect lives.

A curfew has taken effect in the mandated evacuated areas affected by the Palisades and Eaton wildfires, from the hours of 6 PM to 6 AM. Law enforcement will strictly enforce this curfew for your protection and to allow emergency personnel to work effectively.

Your safety is always our priority.

NEW: Two men were detained at Vice President Harris' home early morning on Saturday after a burglary call, but police said they have since been released with no evidence of crime.

Captain Aguilera reminds residents affected by the fires, that first responders and utility companies are working tirelessly to not only repopulate but also to render our community safe.

LASD is enforcing a curfew in evacuation order zones and there is absolutely zero tolerance for looters.
