The 96 youths at Nidorf remain there this morning, and no evacuation has been ordered. While air quality is poor, the probation department insists the kids are safe.
The 100-acre Hurst Fire reported in Sylmar is less than 2 miles from Barry J. Nidorf juvenile hall. I've reached out to see if the youths held there will be evacuated.

Can I just say it’s incredibly irresponsible of the LA Times to put their (very detailed and reliable) fire map behind a paywall
