The Lake Fire, currently threatening the Silverwood Lake and Hesperia area, has burned approximately 478 acres and remains without containment as of the latest update. The incident is under Unified Command, involving the U.S. Forest Service, CAL FIRE San Bernardino Unit, San Bernardino County Fire, and the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.
