CURRENT SITUATION: As of 7:00 a.m. this morning, California Interagency Incident Management Team 5 assumed command of the Bridge Fire. There was minimal growth overnight as firefighters successfully held it within its current perimeter, and more supporting resources continued to arrive. Suppression efforts are prioritized on the south side of the fire, where Quick Reaction Force night-flying helicopters applied fire retardant non-stop for over five hours last night, aiding firefighters in their containment line construction and holding it at Tanbark Flats Road (Forest Road 1N10). This area, along with the east and west flanks, remain the top priority to protect communities, and critical communication and power infrastructure.
