A wildfire broke out Tuesday night in the hills above Altadena near Eaton Canyon, which has now spread to over 2,200 acres. Parts of Pasadena, eastern Glendale, La Cañada Flintridge, and northern Monrovia have been issued a mandatory evacuation order.
Due to the ongoing windstorm advisory, all schools in the Alhambra Unified School District are closed today, Wednesday, January 8. In a statement to AUSD families, Superintendent Denise R. Jaramillo said, “While our facilities teams worked diligently to secure campuses and minimize disruptions, the continued high winds, power outages, downed trees, nearby fires, and traffic issues have led us to take this precautionary step.”
AUSD will issue another update determining whether the closures will be extended beyond Wednesday.
