Angeles National Forest Begins Prescribed Fires

Arcadia, CA, March 25, 2025—Angeles National Forest is planning prescribed fire operations this month. We estimate this work to continue through the spring as weather conditions allow. We use prescribed fires to help reduce overgrown vegetation to help protect local communities, infrastructure, and natural resources from wildfires.

Prescribed fires planned for the area include:

• March 26, 2025 - Texas Canyon Fire Station (Los Angeles County, adjacent to Bouquet Canyon Road, Santa Clarita, CA) - Note: Smoke may be visible inside the Angeles National Forest and in the surrounding communities of Santa Clarita, Newhall, Agua Dulce, Leona Valley, Green Valley, and Canyon Country. No roads or trails are expected to be closed in this area.
• Other specific locations will be announced later.

Watch for warning signs along roads near all prescribed fire areas before and during burns.

Residents may experience smoke during the prescribed burns. Go to https://fire.airnow.gov/ to find more detailed information about air quality. When driving, slow down and turn on your headlights when you encounter smoke on the road.

We will evaluate weather conditions in the hours before a burn begins. If conditions warrant, scheduled prescribed fire activities may be canceled.

Stay informed about the scheduled prescribed fires through the Angeles National Forest’s website and social media channels. We will notify county emergency management officials when burning begins.
