Ranch Fire Kicks Up

The Ranch Fire, in Azusa Canyon, northeast of Monrovia, seemed to have burned low today. Fire helicopters were still dropping water but no smoke was visible from Azusa Canyon, as you can see in the top photo here, which was taken Saturday morning. But the fire apparently kicked up again, as you can see from the bottom photo, taken Saturday evening from Monrovia. The City of Monrovia says there is “no immediate threat to our community.“
