Powerhouse Fire

Our main office for Public Safety Stores is 25 miles north of Downtown Los Angeles, in Santa Clarita.

For over a week the Powerhouse Fire has been burning just a few miles north of us, leaving us at times under a cloud of thick smoke as Wildland Firefighters and Hot Shots douse the flames.

It is now 83% contained.  But it took...
  • 53 structures, including 24 homes
  • over 30,000 acres
  • almost 2,000 personnel
Here are some photos to tell the story

We are personally grateful to the nearly 2,000 Firefighters who fought this blaze!  THANK YOU!!
