The Line Fire is an active wildfire in San Bernardino County in Southern California. As of September 7, 2024, the fire had burned 7,122 acres (2,882 hectares) and was zero percent contained. The cause of the fire is not yet known.

Background

The cause of the fire is under investigation.[1] It began during a multiple-day heatwave in Southern California. Downtown Los Angeles reached 112 °F (44 °C), the third time that temperature had been reached since 1877.[2]

Progression

The Line Fire ignited at around 6:00 p.m. PST along Baseline Road,[3] near its intersection with Alpin Street. The fire spread from that point into the San Bernardino National Forest.[4] As of September 7, 2024, the fire had burned 7,122 acres (2,882 hectares) and was zero percent contained.[1]

Effects

The Line Fire has led to mandatory evacuation orders for more than 500 homes.[3] Areas under evacuation warnings and orders include parts of Highland and Running Springs.[4] The South Coast Air Quality Management District issued an advisory on September 6, warning of health impacts in areas affected by windblown smoke.[3]
