San Berdoo Mtns The Line Fire

[mash on it]

I know the feeling of impending evacuations. I had to evacuate Oct 31st 2003, from the 'Old Fire' down Hwy 38 to Mentone. Crewcab, Jeep and jet bote all hooked up for the ride down the hill.
Good luck for those that are evacuating the Bear Valley area.

half assed educated guess is they are worried about the wind causing spotting towards Big Bear

From the watch duty app looks like it’s spotting into RS now. Sure hope it’s not as bad as it looks.

Most likely firing operations to back up the dozer lines or hand crew lines.

I now heard it might be crews back burning in RS getting the brush cleared between the neighborhoods and houses trying to remove the fuels that would lead it into RS. If that’s the case, yea to them for being proactive about it in a controlled manner.

Seems the watch duty app just shows the heat blooms but they don’t provide status updates of that kind of work.

The upper burn area is 100% a firing operation, backed up by existing roads that were probably reinforced with dozer and hand crew work.

Somebody get a rope!

 

[D19]

Somebody get a rope!

No way! Burn his ass alive since he likes fire so much. $80k bail is a joke!

 

[D19]

Shouldn't he also be charged with attempted murder and a long list of other felonies?

 

[rivermobster]

No way! Burn his ass alive since he likes fire so much. $80k bail is a joke!

Yeah, this too.

 

[PRIMO]

Relax.....
If & when he makes Bail / The Gaunlet will tighten and they will catch the act in progress on video thru Drones and Roadway Cameras !

 

[EarpRider]

California side of Parker, you can hardly see Penis Rock.

 

[DarkHorseRacing]

Yeah pretty smoky on our ring cameras at the Springs.

If they’d drop this evacuation warning I’d split to Havasu for a weekend to unwind from the stress.

 

[Jed-O]

I'm starting to run out of work that needed to be done down the hill. If I can't swing getting a pass to go back to Running Springs soon, I might as well head to the river

 

[4Waters]

It appears that there will be additional charges

Pretty sure that is an unrelated incident. There's been a missing guy for the last three years. Remains were found near where he was last seen.

 

[DarkHorseRacing]

The line fire is still creeping towards the west end of Big Bear but doesn’t seem to be getting to anything populated. Almost 50% contained so far.

Hopefully they can get it out while the weather is cooperating this week because the heat is coming back this weekend.
