Firefighters make progress against three major blazes, aided by favorable conditions and increased containment efforts.

  • The Bridge Fire has burned over 54,000 acres and is now 9% contained, with significant efforts on its southern flank.
  • The Airport Fire, covering more than 23,000 acres, remains 19% contained, with structure protection efforts ongoing in multiple areas.
  • The Line Fire in the San Bernardino Mountains has grown to nearly 39,000 acres but saw containment rise to 42%, with crews focusing on control lines and mopping up.
  • Cooler temperatures, light rain, and higher humidity have aided firefighting efforts, although some areas remain dry and at risk.
  • Evacuation orders and warnings remain in place for several communities, with damage inspection teams assessing the impact on structures.
