Incident Update Line Fire

Situation Summary

Below average temperatures and moderate relative humidity minimized Line Fire behavior overnight. The fire continued to be active in areas with remaining dry vegetation and heat. There is opportunity to make more progress strengthening control lines and mopping up hot spots over the next several days thanks to favorable weather.

An updated Smoke Outlook was published Monday. It can be found at fire.airnow.gov.

There have been multiple drone incursions over the Line Fire area. This impedes our firefighting operations and can have deadly consequences. Please be respectful of those fighting the fire and the community members who are impacted by fire. Never fly drones near wildfire.

Damage Inspection Teams (DINS) are working in the fire area. So far, they have identified four structures that were damaged and one that was destroyed. Their inspections include residences, multi-family dwellings, outbuildings, and commercial buildings.

Governor Gavin Newsom has announced that the California National Guard will support the state’s ongoing response to the Line Fire.
Through its activation, authorized under the Line Fire state of emergency, the California National Guard has deployed:

• Four UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters for water bucket dropping operations
• Two C-130 aircraft with Modular Airborne Fire Fighting Systems (MAFFS)
• Four 20-person hand crews (80 soldiers). 
• One military police company to support the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department with traffic control points in evacuated areas.
