GILMAN FIRE UPDATE: All evacuation orders and warnings have been lifted.

Road closures will remain in effect and First responders will continue working in the area. Please use caution.

San Diego Police Department

Here's the latest on the Hughes Fire in Castaic. It’s a long read, but I hope you take the time.

The fire burned 10,176 acres of brush near Castaic Lake.
The containment has increased to 24%.

But what does that mean?

Containment is often misconstrued as a measurement of how much active fire is remaining — BUT it is not.

Containment is a measurement of how much of a burned area has been surrounded by fire breaks in an effort to keep a fire’s footprint from growing or spreading. You’ll often see images of dozers clearing unburned fuel, hot pink fire retardant being laid down on ridgelines and scores of camp crews getting ahead of the fire to cut away unburned fuels.

I’ve covered fires that never reached 100% containment. And yet, years later, they’re not raging out of control.

Containment at 24% doesn’t mean the fire is stampeding into your neighborhood.

HOWEVER, we’re not out of the woods. These winds, low relative humidity, combined with nearly no brush mitigation or management or clearance in neighborhoods continue to exacerbate these issues.

I’m not trying to be an alarmist, but have a plan BEFORE the time comes to evacuate.
Whether it’s fire, earthquake or floods — have a plan.

Sleep peacefully knowing you have:
A full tank of gas
A centralized meeting place for your family
Defensible space at home
A list of needed medications
Important documents
Pet food and necessary items
An overnight bag with a travel toothbrush and comfy clothes
