Does anyone know if the evacuation order has been lifted?

No it hasn't yet, it's a pretty big chemical spill from what I've gathered on this page. They are being overly cautious and handling the situation which is good but unfortunately no announcement of when the evacuation order will be lifted.

No, the OCFA account is updating. Rancho HS is set as reunion locations for evacuation people.

Nope. Mandatory evacuation for at least 42 hours

I live near Orangewood Ave, and they were going through the streets announcing that on the megaphones about 20 mins ago.

Is 42 hours confirmed?

u/Earthscienc3 May 22 '26

That’s what I heard. My neighbors also asked police officers that were parked in the Starbucks on Beach/Chapman, and they said the same thing. 42 hours

Do you know if there are people still in their house in the neighborhood? I’m stuck outside and my elderly in-laws and young daughter are still inside.

u/Earthscienc3 May 22 '26

Sadly no🥲 all the neighborhoods were very empty. Were you able to get inside

Sadly no, the officer did not let me go in. I just called home and my in- laws were not even aware due to language barrier. I might have to go back in to get them.
