Mountain Fire Burn Area

An EVACUATION WARNING has been issued for residents near the Mountain Fire Burn Area effective Thursday February 13, 2025 from 10:00AM – Friday February 14, 2025 at 8:00AM. 

Varying forecast models suggest a remote possibility peak rainfall rates near or above .75”/hr for some parts of the Mountain Fire Burn Area, including South Mountain. The storm carries a 10-20% chance of thunderstorms, which could produce intense rain capable of triggering small debris flows. Heavy rainfall may also create rapidly changing, life-threatening conditions, leaving little to no time for evacuation. Residents should stay alert, protect their property from flooding, and be prepared to evacuate if conditions become unsafe or if advised by local officials.
