City officials today announced plans to hold a meeting for residents who live near the footprint of a brush fire that swept along the hillsides near the Glendale (2) and Ventura (134) freeways this summer.

City officials will also brief residents on plans to put up concrete barriers, known as K-rails, in the Glenoaks Canyon neighborhood and where to pick up sandbags. The public meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Monday at the Joe Bridges Club House, 2531 E. Glenoaks Blvd. For more information on the meeting, call (818) 548-3900.
