Bridge Fire

Situation Summary

Thanks to the great work of firefighters, public safety personnel, and utility companies, evacuation warnings were lifted, and orders were downgraded to warnings this afternoon in both the Wrightwood and Mt. Baldy communities at 2:00 p.m.

The northwest flank of the fire still has scattered heat as seen by air attack, backing down in the understory with moderate intensity. Direct and indirect lines are being constructed to prevent further spread toward the communities of Mile High and Paradise Springs. Falling modules and other firefighting personnel remain in this area and throughout Big Pines, monitoring, mopping up, and mitigating hazard trees.

On the east flank, crews continue with their progress, constructing direct and indirect line south from Wright Mountain to prevent the fire from reaching the community of Lytle Creek.

Aircraft worked to extinguish hot spots today around the southeast corner to aid firefighters in tying into current containment lines. Secondary containment lines will likely be finished on the south side of the fire tonight, and suppression repair will start there in the next 24 hours. 

On the west flank, crews will work from the East Fork along containment lines, validating that no heat remains and that lines are holding to increase the containment percentage. Three hotshot crews have been inserted by helicopter on ridgelines to construct an indirect line within the rugged and steep terrain of the Sheep Mountain Wilderness.

Structures threatened: 4,409
