The Los Angeles Fire Department is on heightened alert over the next 24 hours, having declared Nov. 2 from 8 a.m. through 8 a.m. Nov. 3 a Red Flag Day.
Red Flag Days indicate weather conditions of wind speeds of 25 mph or more and humidity of 15 percent or less that could spark a brush fire.
According to the LAFD’s website, in an attempt to increase public safety, the Fire Department and Department of Transportation have created a program to remove illegally parked vehicles in posted locations within the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones.
This program was implemented with the assistance of the city council to remove vehicles that create a hazardous condition on Red Flag Days. As such, parking will be prohibited or limited on certain streets.
