Red flag warnings extended through Thursday night, while Cal Fire and local officials prepared to protect burn areas from ash runoff ahead of potential weekend rain. Mayor Bass issued orders to speed cleanup and mitigate pollution, urging residents to monitor ash dispersal and visit velocity.gov for safety guidance.
