Station Fire Map Of California
This is another new updated map of the Station fire near Los Angeles. It shows heat detected by satellites at 2:17 p.m. on Saturday, August 29. The red areas depict heat detected within the last 12 hours.
It shows a great deal of fire growth, especially on the west and north sides, as it burns deeper into the Angeles National Forest and threatens homes in the front country on the south side. The fire has burned into across Big Tujunga Road and west over Mt. Lukens. It threatens homes in La Canada -Flintridge, Altadena, and Glendale.
Three civilians with burns were flown out of Big Tujunga Canyon.
The fire is driven by high temperatures, low fuel moistures, steep slopes, dense vegetation, and very low relative humidities. Southeast winds at 6-12 mph contributed to the fire spread Saturday afternoon. There is the potential for Sunday’s fire behavior to be similar to that seen on Saturday.
Fire officials report that the fire has burned 20,102 acres and it is 5% contained.
