Working through above normal temperatures and occasional wind gusts up to 20 mph, fire crews continued to keep the Line Fire within its current footprint, except for a small, 5-acre growth which was quickly attacked and lined by crews. Pockets of vegetation within the perimeter of the fire generated some fire activity and smoke but did not threaten existing lines as crews and aircraft worked to minimize fire activity. Even with growing confidence in the existing lines, crews and dozers worked on building and strengthening contingency lines to the east of the fire. With the good progress over the last few days, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department lifted some evacuation warnings yesterday. Check the Sheriff’s Facebook page for future updates. 

Today, crews will continue to monitor and patrol the north, west and south sides of the fire, and strengthen and improve lines around the remainder of the fire, especially around the small growth yesterday. While helicopters will prioritize supporting fire fighters on the ground, some aircraft may help SCE with replacing burned power poles to speed up the restoration of power. 

There will be a Community Meeting at the Big Bear Performing Arts Center at 1:00 p.m. tomorrow, October 5, 2024. The address is 39707 Big Bear Blvd, Big Bear Lake, CA.
