In preparation for what it is calling “critical fire weather,” Cal Fire is moving firefighting resources from Northern California to Southern California, deploying additional crews and engines to Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Luis Obispo and Ventura counties, according to a news release from the agency.

With yet another major Santa Ana wind event​ closing in on most of Southern California, local authorities are already taking steps to ensure a swift response to any emergencies that may arise.

In the face of what's predicted to be an intense Santa Ana windstorm, additional firefighting resources will be deployed throughout San Diego County for the remainder of the week, it was announced Monday.
