Topline:
Parking restrictions are in effect for several streets in Mount Washington, Sherman Oaks, Woodland Hills, and other Los Angeles neighborhoods because of forecasted fire weather conditions.
The details: No parking signs will be posted in the affected areas and vehicles that are illegally parked will be towed, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
How long: The ”red flag” restrictions started at 8 a.m. Wednesday and will run through 8 a.m. Thursday.
Why: If a brush fire breaks out, fire crews need to have room to respond quickly. The parking restrictions typically apply to specific narrow streets in brush areas.
