notes: Due to the anticipated rains over the next several days, City officials expect that the areas damaged by the Station, Sayre and Sesnon Fires, may be adversely affected. City and County departments have plans in place and have prepositioned equipment and supplies in these areas to respond immediately, if need be, to prevent the rains from causing further damage as much as possible. Sand bags for residents in these areas, can be obtained from: - Council District 2 Office, 7747 Foothill Blvd. , Tujunga - Oakridge Mobile Home Park, 1544 Glenoaks Blvd. , Sylmar - Veteran’s Park, 13000 Sayre Street , Sylmar - Fire Station 24, 9411 Wentworth Street , Sunland - Fire Station 91, 14430 Polk Street , Sylmar -> This is a link to a PDF of which fire stations residents can pick up sandbags in the post burn area's: http://dpw.lacounty.gov/wrd/Fire/file/sandbags.pdf ---------------------------------------------------------
cat_notes: Removed old notes 10/12/09: INFORMATION AND REFERRAL FEDERATION OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY Last Updated: November 25, 2008 at 11:45am SAND BAGS People requesting sand bags go to the Los Angeles County Fire Department station in their area. Individuals seeking sand or sandbags should call their neighborhood station. Stations provide up to 25 sandbags per person. Sandbags, as well as sand in some stations, are available. Sand is the preferred material for use: however, any soil available may be used. Stations that do not supply sand will refer people to local building supply centers or masonries in their area. In limited quantities, sandbags will be available at all Los Angeles City Fire Stations. City of Los Angeles Neighborhood Fire Stations can be found here: http://lafd.org/fsloc.htm In addition, sandbags will also be available at the LAPD Foothill, Mission and Devonshire Division Stations. The following locations may also have sand: Veterans Memorial Park 13000 Sayre St. Sylmar, CA 91342 Olive View UCLA Medical Center 14445 Olive View Dr. Sylmar, CA 91342 El Cariso Regional Park 13100 Hubbard St. Sylmar, CA Hansen Dam Los Angeles, CA (818) 899-6016 Knollwood Country Club Parking Lot 12040 Balboa Blvd. Granada Hills, CA (818) 360-2101 Omelveny Park 17300 Sesnon Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 91344 FILLING SANDBAGS Fill sandbags one-half full. Sand is suggested if readily available; however, sand is not mandatory, and any local soil may be used. For a more durable bag with increased effective life, mix 10 parts of sand or soil with one part of cement. The materials can be mixed and placed dry. After all bags are in place, a light sprinkling of water is recommended. This technique is only effective with burlap sandbags and will not work with plastic sandbags. PLACING SANDBAGS Fold top of sandbag down and rest bag on its folded top. It is important to place bags with the folded top toward the upstream or uphill direction to prevent bags from opening when water runs by them. Care should be taken to stack sandbags properly. Place each sandbag side by side with top folded under bag pointed up stream. Complete each layer prior to starting the next layer. Limit placement to two layers unless a building is used as a backing or sandbags are pyramided LIMITATIONS Sandbags will not seal out water. Sand and soil filled burlap sandbags deteriorate when exposed for several months to continued wetting and drying. If bags are placed too early, they may not be effective when needed. Sandbags are basically for low-flow protection (up to two feet). Protection from higher flows requires a more permanent type of structure. -> Removed old notes 1/17/10 LTel: Due to the anticipated rains over the next several days, City officials expect that the areas damaged by the Station, Sayre and Sesnon Fires, may be adversely affected.
