Incident Update Line Fire

Situation Summary

Line Fire activity was less intense overnight due to cooler weather and good moisture recoveries. Today, cooler weather and smoke shading will moderate fire growth. Fire established in drainages will still exhibit fire spread. Firefighters are building and strengthening control lines and mopping up hot spots.

Damage Inspection Teams (DINS) are working in the area to identify damaged or destroyed structures.

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 is deploying:

• 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). They will be assigned to the Line Fire on Thursday in support of CAL FIRE.
• One military police company to support the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department with traffic control points in evacuated areas.

For information on the Line Fire, please call (909) 220-4292. The line for media is (909) 881-6949. Additional fire information can be found at: Cabdf Line Fire Information | InciWeb (wildfire.gov).
