If you are in the 'red zones', get out. Now. Take your pets and livestock with you.
If you are in the 'yellow zones', BE READY - if you are in an area that would be difficult to get out, think about leaving now. Emergency evac at night is not optimal.

3/3 - - The section of the fire moving north in Sullivan Canyon is still active along that flank and resources do anticipate that the fire will reach the dirt section of the Mulholland Dr area eventually due to the terrian and fuels. The fire remains west of the West Mandeville Fire Rd
