LOS ANGELES - Two major fires in greater Los Angeles threatened some credit union branches over the weekend, but calm winds and rising humidity helped firefighters make progress overnight.
Currently, the greatest danger is in northern Orange County, near the border of Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties. According to maps posted on the Los Angeles Times Web site (www.latimes.com), credit union branches located in or near evacuation areas include the $3.7 billion Wescom Credit Union, with a branch in Anaheim Hills, the $34 million Prospectors Federal Credit Union, located in Diamond Bar, and the $542 million Credit Union of Southern California, with a branch in Brea.
The fire may have also smoked out the party for the $920 million Orange County's Credit Union, which had planned a Saturday grand opening of its new Yorba Linda branch.
Another fire to the north knocked out power early Saturday at Sylmar's Olive View-UCLA Medical Center, where the $29 million Olive View Employees FCU is headquartered. $1.3 million San Fernando Valley Japanese Credit Union, located at 13900 Polk Street in Sylmar, is within boundaries of mandatory evacuation areas enforced over the weekend.
