Bridge Fire (CAANF)

Wildfire Status:

The Bridge Fire in the Angeles National Forest is currently active, with firefighters working diligently to secure the containment line. As of October 24, the fire is reported to be 99% contained, thanks to improved weather conditions that have significantly reduced wind speeds. Firefighting efforts have been bolstered by extensive aerial delivery of fire retardant over the past 48 hours, which has played a crucial role in limiting the spread of the fire.

Firefighters are continuing to monitor the situation closely, utilizing advanced tools and technology to identify and address any remaining heat sources that could potentially ignite unburned fuel. Although the incident was downgraded to a Type 4 fire, indicating a decrease in complexity and needs, there are still concerns about unburned pockets of vegetation within the perimeter that may flare up. As a precaution, the Angeles National Forest has implemented a closure order affecting specific roads, trails, and facilities in the area, which will remain in effect until December 31, 2025.

Residents in the vicinity of the Bridge Fire have access to post-fire resources and damage inspection information through designated websites for San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties. Additionally, the public is reminded to report any sightings of smoke or flames by calling 9-1-1. Although significant progress has been made in controlling the fire, the presence of smoke may still be visible from within the burn area as unburned materials continue to smolder.
