Dear Campus Community:

While º£½ÇÉçÇøCI remains safe, firefighters continue to work on containment of the Hughes Fire located in the Castaic area of Los Angeles County approximately 50 miles away from the campus. There is no fire threat to our campus though smoke may continue to blow over Ventura County. Classes on our campus will continue today, Jan. 23 as scheduled.

University personnel continue to monitor the campus’ air quality and HVAC air vents to campus buildings continue to be closed. Keep all windows and doors closed to prevent smoke from entering indoors. Free N95 masks are available at Public Safety located in Placer Hall for employees and students as needed. People with respiratory or heart disease, older adults and children are encouraged to remain indoors.
