The Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station is in emergency operations mode as county officials battle the Woolsey Fire.
All station resources and personnel have been activated and have put on 12-hour working shifts to maintain both public safety in the SCV as well as deploy deputies to aid firefighters battling the Woolsey Fire.
As of 11 a.m. Monday, 91,572 acres have been affected, with 20 percent containment.
L.A. County Fire’s mandatory evacuation alert remains in effect for residents of Topanga, Malibu, Calabasas, Hidden Hills and unincorporated areas of the county directly impacted by the fire.
Just after 11 Monday morning, fire officials called for the mandatory evacuation of areas of Box Canyon and Lake Manor in unincorporated LA County south of the 118 Freeway due to the fast-moving brush fire.
Fire officials have issued a voluntary evacuation alert for residents of other areas close proximity to affected areas.

* OPEN: US-101

Governor Jerry Brown has requested a major disaster proclamation from the president to bolster the ongoing emergency response and help residents recover from devastating fires burning in Butte, Los Angeles and Ventura counties.
Repopulation began Sunday for residents in the Agoura Hills and Westlake Village on the Los Angeles County side, north of the U.S. Route 101 highway.
Once an area is cleared for repopulation, residents can expedite their return by having identification ready to display to deputies who will check it as they return to their homes. Officials are working diligently together to ensure a safe return for all. If your return home is delayed, please continue to exercise patience.
Throughout the day, there will be approximately 600 Sheriff’s Department deputy personnel saturating evacuated areas on looter patrol, and maintaining a strong law enforcement presence to ensure the protection of residents and their properties. Residents returning home are advised to remain vigilant in their neighborhoods and call if they see anything or anyone of concern.
If you were affected by the Woolsey or Hill fires, the Thousand Oaks mass shooting, or both, you can call the Disaster Distress Helpline at 1-800-985-5990 or text “TalkWithUs” to 66746 for emotional support and resources.
