After minor overnight mudslides in the Duarte Fish Fire burn scar prompted street closures, the city of Duarte reported the mudflow alert is to be lifted at 8 p.m.
Several streets were closed this morning and early afternoon due to debris in the roadway, including Mel Canyon Road. As rain subsided around noon, crews worked to clean up the roadway, and it is now reopened.
