Fast-moving Line fire forces evacuations in San Bernardino mountain towns

Story below about terrible LINE FIRE, ongoing. Except...no air assets assigned to fire. No need

IT'S RAINING THERE.

Just fear and bullshite from the MSM. 

A gift for the southland, from YHVH, as discussed extant, last Spring on our spiritual world blog. Ongoing. 

They start fires, He puts them out. Then those that start fires get punished. And finding some homeless patsy to take the blame deceives NO ONE.


Rain over every spot they are calling fires.

An uncontrolled wildfire in San Bernardino County doubled in size overnight, exploding from 7,122 acres to nearly 17,500 acres Sunday morning. The fire forced mandatory evacuations Saturday in mountain communities that include Running Springs and Arrowbear Lake, and prompted evacuation warnings Sunday in Lake Arrowhead, Cedar Glen, Crestline and Valley of Enchantment.

More than 35,400 structures are threatened by the fire, which is 0% contained. Three firefighters have been injured; more than 600 have been assigned to tackle the flames.

Thunderstorms and lightning on Saturday suspended aircraft services and could do the same on Sunday, limiting firefighters' ability to dump flame retardants and water on the fire, said National Weather Service meteorologist Dave Munyan with the San Diego office. By 6:30 p.m. Saturday, 282 lightning strikes were recorded in Highland and Big Bear with 3,337 other lightning flashes that stayed in the clouds, NWS reported.

"Because they're trying to fight the fires on some steep terrain, it's almost impossible for them to utilize ground attack," Munyan said.

Winds on Sunday are expected at 15-20 mph and an excessive heat warning remains in place throughout the day. Temperatures are expected to range from the upper 80s to around 100 degrees.

"The weather is definitely not cooperating for [firefighters] today," Munyan said.

The heat wave bearing down on the Southland is not expected to break until Tuesday, with an excessive heat warning in effect until Monday night. Los Angeles County and surrounding areas are under a red flag warning as temperatures are expected to reach more than 100 degrees in some parts. The combination of high heat and humidity will bring a chance of thunderstorms across the mountains of Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Ventura counties, and the Antelope and San Gabriel valleys.

On Saturday, firefighters were using hand lines, hoses and fixed-wing aircraft to fight the Line fire, which started Thursday evening and exploded that night as temperatures climbed to 110 degrees.

The fire doubled in size from 3,800 acres early Saturday in the city of Highland to 7,122 acres by the evening as it spread northeast into the San Bernardino Mountains toward Running Springs and Arrowbear Lake. Steep terrain and lack of access limited the ability of crews to access some areas of the fires, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said in a statement.
