Wildfire Status:

The Vista Fire, reported on July 7, 2024, in the San Bernardino National Forest, has burned approximately 2,936 acres and is currently 100% contained as of December 31, 2024. Firefighting efforts have successfully managed the incident, with a total of 297 personnel involved in the response. The incident was led by the California Interagency Incident Team 15 before management was reverted to the San Bernardino National Forest.

In terms of ongoing operations, the current plan involves continued monitoring of the affected area as needed until significant precipitation occurs. The fire's containment and monitoring efforts are critical given the hot and dry weather conditions predicted to persist throughout the week, which pose potential risks for re-ignition or flare-ups.

Road closures in the area have been enacted, with specific Forest Service Roads listed in the current closure order. The San Bernardino County Sheriff Department, alongside the Fire Department, has also implemented a Telephone Emergency Notification System (TENS) to communicate any impending dangers to residents quickly. Additionally, increased fire restrictions have been established within the San Bernardino National Forest, limiting campfires to designated developed areas to prevent future wildfires. Drones are prohibited in the fire zone due to their interference with firefighting operations, as a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) is in effect.
