Map of area. (Random: Sometime after midnight last night there was some kind of kerfuffle involving Los Angeles County Sheriff's Dept (?) lights and sirens ordering an evacuation of Brandeis, but no such order coming from Incident Command... everything was handled by phone call. I believe that is Simi Valley PD territory, but no idea. Anyway, it sounded like a kerfuffle, no idea if evacs happened or not. ) 5/19/26 1657 #SandyFire #Simi

Calm until somewhere approaching 8am, tapering off until 1pm, so probably will be a question of how lines and retardant hold when the wind starts, and dependent on how much work crews get done overnight. (imho) 5/18/26 2229 #SandyFire #Simi #ThousandOaks
