Bridge Fire
Wildfire Status:
The Bridge Fire, active as of September 8, 2024, has reached 100% containment, indicating that fire agencies have successfully surrounded the blaze. Although the incident has been downgraded to a Type 4 status, which reflects a decrease in complexity and resource needs, unburned pockets of fuel within the perimeter may still flare up, causing visible smoke and flames. This situation calls for ongoing vigilance from fire crews as they monitor for any re-ignition.
Fire response efforts have included the deployment of specialized teams, such as the Burned Area Emergency Response Team, tasked with assessing the impact of the fire on the Angeles National Forest. In addition to firefighting resources, agencies are providing support through damage inspection teams and post-fire resources for affected residents. Residents impacted by the fire can find information on recovery and assistance through designated websites for both San Bernardino and Los Angeles Counties.
Recent weather conditions have contributed to the response efforts, with forecasts predicting potential rain. Residents are encouraged to prepare for this by obtaining free sandbags from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works. However, the rain may also pose challenges, as it could lead to mudslides or other hazards in recently burned areas. In light of these conditions, road closures remain in effect in the vicinity of the fire, and residents are advised to stay updated on closures and conditions through relevant agency websites.
