Situation Summary
Update 10/24: Improved weather conditions, primarily a significant reduction in winds, have enabled firefighters and aircraft to make progress at limiting the Bridge Fire's spread and securing the fire in its current footprint. Extensive aerial delivery of fire retardant in the last 48 hours has contributed to this progress.
