Incident Update Line Fire

Situation Summary

Thunderstorm outflow winds are causing very erratic behavior on the Line Fire, and vegetation is critically dry. Today there will be a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms over the fire area.  Temperatures will range from the upper 80's to around 100 degrees and an Excessive Heat Warning continues throughout the day. The fire will start out under smoky skies today which will help moderate fire behavior, but as smoke clears through the afternoon, fire activity will once again pick up. Smoke remains a challenge for aircraft, limiting access to parts of the fire. Limited resources and logistical support have hampered fire control efforts. Afternoon thunderstorms could cause new ignitions and potentially influence activity around the fire perimeter. Hot and dry conditions mixed with thunderstorms are expected to challenge firefighters for the next few days.  There are currently 35,405 structures threatened, including single and multi-family homes, commercial buildings, and other minor structures. A Damage Inspection Team (DINS) has been ordered. There are currently 628 personnel assigned to the fire.

For information, please call (909) 220-4292.
