Wildfire Status:

The Bridge Fire, ongoing in the Angeles National Forest, has reached 100% containment as of October 5, 2024. The incident, which began on September 8, 2024, in the East Fork area near Cattle Canyon Bridge, has transitioned to a Type 4 incident status, indicating a reduction in operational complexity. However, responders remain vigilant as unburned pockets within the fire perimeter could potentially flare up, leading to visible smoke and flames.

Fire agencies have implemented various response strategies, including the establishment of a Burned Area Emergency Response Team to assess the fire's impact on the environment. Residents affected by the fire are encouraged to access resources for recovery, including damage inspections available through San Bernardino and Los Angeles County websites. Additionally, the Angeles National Forest has enforced a closure order for areas impacted by the fire, which will remain in effect until December 31, 2025.

Weather conditions currently pose a potential risk with forecasts indicating rain, prompting the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works to advise residents on obtaining free sandbags. Air quality remains a concern, with resources available for monitoring smoke and its effects. Residents are urged to stay informed about air quality levels through various online tools. Overall, while significant progress has been made in containing the Bridge Fire, continued awareness and preparedness are critical as recovery efforts unfold.
