Situation Summary
Record Fire UPDATE 9/2/24, 8:00 a.m.
The Record Fire, initially reported at the intersection of Soboba Road and Gilman Springs Road, has expanded to 650 acres and is now 15% contained. Overnight, the fire exhibited minimal growth, allowing firefighters to make significant progress in increasing containment. Firefighters will continue to work throughout the day, strengthening containment lines and addressing any remaining hotspots.
Helicopters will actively support ground crews by conducting water drops to cool down hot spots and slow the fire’s spread. However, with extreme heat in the area, with temperatures expected to reach near 110°F, conditions remain challenging. The high temperatures and dry conditions will make firefighting efforts more difficult.
Evacuation warnings remain in place for the Poppet Flats area, and residents are urged to stay vigilant and be prepared to evacuate if necessary. Please continue to monitor for updates and follow any instructions from local authorities.
