Red Flag Warning: Firefighters bracing for another round of Santa Ana winds

While all the evacuation orders have been lifted in the Tick Fire burn area the fire danger remains high. The fire is now 70-percent contained, but fire officials and local residents are not letting down their guard, as the Santa Ana winds are expected to pick up again overnight.

The agency issued the same advisory for the coastal areas and the San Gabriel Valley from 10 p.m. Sunday to 6 p.m. Monday.

A fire weather watch is also in effect from 11 p.m. Tuesday to 6 p.m. Thursday for much of Los Angeles and Ventura counties.

The National Weather Service says with gusty winds potential for a new fire to spark is high and could cause any fire to spread rapidly. 

 As of about 1 p.m. Sunday, electricity had been restored to all of the nearly 8,400 Southern California Edison customers in Los Angeles County who faced Friday outages under the utility's "Public Safety Power Shutoff'' program.

However, nearly 95,000 Los Angeles County customers were being considered for upcoming outages, according to an update on the utility's website. More than 302,000 customers in the entire SCE service area, which ranges from Riverside County up through parts of Fresno, Madera and Mono counties, are on that list.

The program targets areas where weather conditions “may create the potential for elevated fire risk,'' SCE reported.

More than 900 firefighters continue to battle the Tick Fire in Canyon Country. According to Cal Fire, 22 structures were destroyed and another 27 were damaged. The fire is currently 65% contained and has burned over 4,000 acres.
