Read Bobcat Fire: Arcadia Warns Of Possible Evacuations As Blaze Surpasses 10,000 Acres (LAist)
The Bobcat fire ignited on Sunday and quickly grew to threaten Mount Wilson.
We’ve just gotten an evacuation warning, so I’m searching around a bit to find sources to back up the text that disappeared. So far there’s nothing in the media, and it may take a half an hour or more to find more details.  This is the only recent story online at the moment and there are a few spurious tweets that cover Altadena in the warning, but those are entirely unsourced.

Phone notifications that disappear too quickly in emergencies can be really bad UI.
