UCLA operating normally, monitoring fire in Sepulveda Pass
The Los Angeles Fire Department is working on an active and growing brush fire on the west side of the 405 Freeway, north of Sunset Blvd. UCLA Emergency Management is working with LAFD and there is no immediate threat to campus from the fire.
The fire is burning away from campus, and UCLA is outside the evacuation area.
Commuting to the campus from the north could be challenging. UCLA officials will continue monitoring the situation and will provide updates as we learn more.
