***Bridge Fire Community Meeting: Come join us for an overview of the Bridge Fire and current situation on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, from 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m., at the Wrightwood Community Services Building, 1275 Highway 2, Wrightwood, CA
INITIAL SITUATION: On Sunday, Sept. 8, at 2:40 p.m., Angeles National Forest firefighters responded to a reported wildfire in the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument in the East Fork area by Cattle Canyon Bridge along Camp Bonita Road.
CURRENT INFORMATION: On Saturday, Oct. 5, the incident was lowered to a Type 4 incident. This means complexity and needs of this incident are going down.
As temperatures continue to heat up and stay very warm in the coming days and conditions remain dry, pockets of unburned fuel may flare up and smoke could be visible from within the fire. At this time, there is no threat to the containment lines. Firefighters continue to investigate smoke, extinguish isolated heat sources, and remove hazardous trees to improve public and crew safety.
Damage inspection teams completed their inspections. Residents affected by the Bridge Fire can find information on the following websites:

IF YOU FLY, WE CAN’T!
Drones pose a serious risk to firefighting and can cause air operations to cease. When drones interfere with firefighting efforts, a wildfire has the potential to grow larger and cause more damage. A FAA Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) is in effect and any private aircraft or drone that violates the TFR could face serious criminal charges. For more information on drones the public can visit the FAA’s website at www.KnowBeforeYouFly.org.
