The Colby Fire Impact Area includes all properties north of Sierra Madre, from the western city boundaries of Azusa/Glendora (Yucca Ridge) to the eastern property boundaries on the west side of Little Dalton Wash (near Loraine Ave.). These areas have the highest risk of being impacted by flooding/debris flows due to loss of vegetation from the foothills, a direct result of the Colby Fire on January 16, 2014.
