Evacuation Warnings Issued For IE Residents Hit By Winter Storm

SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CA — The Bridge and Line fires consumed thousands of acres in San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties last fall, destroying many homes in Wrightwood as well as properties in Running Springs.

Firefighters from across the state battled the blazes. Over days and sometimes weeks, evacuated residents could finally return home.

Now, many of those residents are under evacuation warnings again due to mud and debris flow caused by wet winter weather bearing down on the region.

Tuesday evening, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department began notifying residents in impacted communities. As of 7:30 p.m., evacuation warning areas included communities near Wrightwood, Mt. Baldy and residents just northeast of Redlands. Road closures are also in place in the region.

An evacuation warning means there is a potential threat to life and/or property. "Those who require additional time to evacuate and those with pets and livestock should leave now," according to the County of San Bernardino.
