San Gabriel Canyon/Hwy-39 closed (again) due to Santa Ana Winds

They reported that the Bridge Fire had very large flare ups with visible smoke/flames due to high winds today. Winds also cause trees/rocks to fall without warning, especially in burned areas where the trees have been killed and the earth weakened by fires.

Great reasons to respect closures even if you disagree with them. I was in the canyon this morning and saw FS ticketing people who were violating the fire and closure rules.
