Bridge Fire (CAANF)

Wildfire Status:

The Bridge Fire in the Angeles National Forest continues to be a focus of firefighting efforts as of October 24, 2024. Firefighters have made significant progress in securing the containment line, achieving approximately 99% containment of the fire's perimeter. This success is largely attributed to favorable weather conditions, including a notable reduction in wind speeds, which has allowed both ground crews and aerial support to effectively manage and limit the fire's spread. Over the past 48 hours, substantial aerial fire retardant applications have helped to stabilize the situation further.

Firefighters remain vigilant, monitoring for potential flare-ups from unburned vegetation within the fire perimeter. Reconnaissance flights have been conducted to assess heat sources, and teams continue to identify and address these hotspots to prevent rekindling. While the immediate threat of the fire has diminished, residents are advised to remain cautious, as smoke may still be visible from within the affected area.

In response to the fire, the Angeles National Forest has issued closure orders for certain areas to ensure public safety and aid firefighting efforts. These closure orders will remain in effect until December 31, 2025. Additionally, several road closures are in place to facilitate firefighting operations and protect the public from hazardous conditions. Local authorities encourage residents to stay informed through official channels and report any signs of smoke or flames by dialing 9-1-1.
