Incident Update Line Fire

Situation Summary

The north and east portions of the Line Fire experienced the most fire activity today. This evening there will be a slight chance for showers and thunderstorms. The fire could remain active overnight as vegetation remains critically dry. Stronger winds are predicted Tuesday which could help fire spread and contribute to longer range spotting. Mid-week cooling may moderate fire activity and increase fuel moistures. The fire is burning in steep, rugged terrain and access is challenging. Firefighters are working to build control lines. There are currently 38,002 structures that are still threatened. This includes 8,800 structures under Evacuation Orders and 29,200 structures under Evacuation Warnings. A Damage Inspection Team (DINS) is working in the area.

Governor Gavin Newsom today announced that the California National Guard will support the state’s ongoing response to the Line Fire in San Bernardino County.
Through its activation, authorized under the Line Fire state of emergency, the California National Guard will deploy:  

• 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 report to Camp Roberts tomorrow for equipment distribution and 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.
