Bridge Fire (CAANF)

Wildfire Status:

The Bridge Fire, currently active in the Angeles National Forest, has reached 100% containment as of October 8, 2024. Firefighters have reported that the complexity of the incident has decreased, allowing for a transition to a Type 4 incident. However, pockets of unburned fuel within the perimeter may still flare up, causing visible smoke and flames. Fire agencies continue to monitor these areas closely to ensure no further spread occurs.

In response to the fire's aftermath, damage inspection teams have completed their assessments, and resources are available for residents affected by the fire. Residents can access information about recovery efforts through dedicated websites for both San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties. Additionally, the Angeles National Forest has issued a closure order for the affected areas, which will remain in effect until December 31, 2025, affecting specific roads, trails, and facilities.

Weather conditions have played a crucial role in the management of the Bridge Fire. As the region enters a forecasted rainy period, residents are advised to prepare with sandbags, which can be obtained at various locations in Los Angeles County. The potential for rain presents both a risk and a benefit; while it may help to suppress any remaining hotspots, it could also lead to hazardous conditions, including mudslides in burn areas. Fire officials are urging the public to stay informed about road closures and other safety measures as they continue to manage the post-fire environment.
