The governor declared a state of emergency in Los Angeles, saying 165 homes had been damaged or destroyed in the Sylmar area.
A new brush fire has broken out off the 91 Freeway near Green River Road on the Orange-Riverside county border. Some lanes on the 91 Freeway are closed, and homes are threatened. Another fire is reported on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

I trust that all activists will focus their efforts on helping fire victims today. This is truly a city-wide emergency as declared by Mayor Villaraigosa. All energy should be devoted to helping and none should draw fire and police services in other directions.
