Los Angeles County Fire will be moving emergency fire operations into Central Park this afternoon and will use the park for approximately the next week as a staging area for the Station Fire. Because of it’s location and vast acreage, Central Park has periodically been used as a staging area for emergency fire operations throughout the years.
The transition of personnel and equipment to Central Park will occur throughout the day with most of the activity happening later this afternoon. Staff is making preparations for housing and feeding of approximately 1800 firefighters from the United States Forest Service and Los Angeles County.
All recreation activity at the park is cancelled until further notice.
Today thousands of personnel and loads of equipment will move to Central Park as part of the effort to fight the Station Fire
