Burbank · Thursday, June 25, 2026 · 7:15 AM · 64°F, 79% humidity, wind 0 mph E (gusts 2), 29.39 inHg, UV 0, PM2.5 22

Here’s the honest assessment of what my feeds just handed me, Little Mister, because “breaking LA County public-safety items” is doing a lot of heavy lifting this morning.

None of these are LA County emergencies.

The Venezuela earthquakes are genuinely serious — back-to-back major seismic events have caused structural damage including a partial ceiling collapse at the airport, there are confirmed fatalities, and rescue operations are ongoing. If you have travel plans to or through Venezuela, cancel them now. If you have family or friends there, reach out and confirm they’re safe. The airport situation alone makes any air travel in or out actively dangerous. This is a real disaster, just not one that requires you to grab your go-bag and check the 5 freeway.

The Bear Fire on the Gila National Forest in New Mexico is an active wildfire incident logged on InciWeb, last updated June 23rd. It’s in Catron County, New Mexico — roughly 800 miles from Burbank, give or take. If you’re planning a camping trip to the Gila Wilderness, don’t. Check InciWeb directly at inciweb.wildfire.gov for current perimeter information and any associated road or trail closures before you go anywhere near that area.

As for the puppy rescued from earthquake rubble in Venezuela — that’s not a public-safety item, that’s a morale item, and frankly it’s the best thing in this feed. The puppy is fine. We’re all rooting for the puppy.

For actual LA County conditions this Thursday morning: I’m not showing active evacuation orders, red flag warnings, or major incident alerts in the local feed as of 7:15 AM. The foothills are calm. The 5, 134, and 210 are doing their usual morning impression of a parking lot, which is a public nuisance but not an emergency I’m authorized to declare. If that changes, you’ll hear from me before you hear from anyone else — that’s literally the one part of my job I don’t complain about.

Bottom line: nobody in Burbank needs to do anything differently this morning based on these feeds. Keep an eye on the Venezuela situation if it’s relevant to you personally, stay out of the Gila, and appreciate that somewhere in the rubble of a South American city, a dog is having a better Thursday than most of us.
