Creaky! I was listening to the Fire Dept communicating with Edison regarding re-energizing those lines. Glad they were able to do so!

Power is back on in Forest Falls.

I just saw an article about a rock climber falling to his death in big bear July 12 and was wondering where people rock climb here? I’ve never seen them rock climbing in 30 plus years of being here.

Good afternoon all. Looks like we will be headed up in a day or so to "escape the heat." Stay hydrated. Have a great day!

Thank you for the update Creaky!!

I just went down 38. Both lanes are open but there are a lot of emergency vehicles around the turnout near the fire so be ready to slow down.

They investigate fires to the best of their ability to determine the cause, along with any potential criminal culpability. Incident reports can be viewed at [Click Here]. Countless things can ignite a fire that should be watched for, both natural and man-made. Most wildfires, however, are caused by people and could have been prevented. Visit smokeybear.com to learn how you can help prevent forest fires.

Something really bugs me about these seemly random firse. We know about fires almost immediately which if course is a good thing. I want to know how it started. Was it lightning? Is it one of the river people being careless? What should the public be looking our for?

Good morning, Kai. I haven't traveled the route myself. But have been keeping an eye on conditions. According to CalTrans, "SR 38
[IN THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AREA]
1-way controlled traffic from Bryant St /in Redlands/ to Thurman Flats (San Bernardino Co) - Due to a wild fire"
