A night we wish we could bottle up and keep forever 🤍

Our Dinner in the Garden was filled with familiar faces, new friends, the sweetest conversations, incredible food + so many little moments we’ll remember for a long time.

To every person who came, pulled up a chair, shopped with us, shared a meal + made the evening what it was, thank you.

CJLA has always been about so much more than getting dressed, and nights like this remind us just how special this community really is.

Until we gather around the table again. 🤍

#sandyfire Jumps Containment And Burns Over Runkle Canyon Neighborhood In Simi Valley

Simi Valley, Calif. (May 19, 2026 4:30pm) A fast moving wildfire dubbed the Sandy Fire exploded across rugged hills in southern Simi Valley on Monday, rapidly growing to nearly 1,700 acres and forcing thousands of residents from their homes. 

The blaze, which ignited Monday morning off Sandy Avenue near Sequoia Avenue, was driven by strong winds through dry brush. The flames came up behind the homes from the wash below and jumped across the top of Sequoia Avenue and directly threatening homes in the area, prompting urgent structure protection efforts along Redwood Grove Court and nearby neighborhoods. The embercasting from the fire caught the hill behind the homes on fire which quickly spread. Dozers were dropped in and started clearing additional brush and kept it from reaching any other homes. 

As of Tuesday, the fire had burned 1,698 acres and was only 5% contained, according to Cal Fire and Ventura County officials. At least one home was destroyed, with additional structures threatened or damaged. 

Mandatory evacuation orders remained in place for large portions of southern Simi Valley and surrounding areas, affecting more than 30,000 people. Evacuation warnings extended into parts of Los Angeles County, including Chatsworth and West Hills. Schools in the Simi Valley Unified School District were closed. 

Hundreds of firefighters, supported by helicopters and air tankers, worked through the night and into Tuesday to contain the blaze and protect homes. Winds eased somewhat overnight but remained a concern.

Residents were urged to stay vigilant and follow official updates from Ventura County Emergency Management. Shelters were established for evacuees and their animals. Also check @watchdutyapp for updates! For licensing contact newsdesk@royolnews.com
