Overview
- The Summit Fire was reported Friday around 12:50 p.m. near Jesus Canyon Road and East Avenue Z on the Los Angeles–San Bernardino county line and grew quickly to roughly 1,300–1,600 acres with 0% containment.
- Los Angeles County issued multiple evacuation orders and warnings, including a Level 3 (Go) order for zone LAC-E107, and officials urged residents to follow county emergency pages for maps and instructions.
- Incident command placed airtankers on a no-divert order, deployed at least 10 air tankers plus multiple helicopters, and requested a Very Large Airtanker and additional aircraft to support suppression.
- Crews reported damaged outbuildings and said occupied structures are threatened while CalFire continues an investigation into the fire’s cause.
- A separate Grande Fire near Piru burned about 50 acres with evacuation warnings and more than 100 firefighters assigned, and officials warned that steep terrain and extreme heat are complicating suppression and could strain regional resources.
