There is really heavy smoke behind the hills where our office is facing which is the San Bernardino mountains.

We were at the Arrowhead resort over the weekend, and yesterday the winds were VERY bad up there.  I hope it's not like that today..... for obvious reasons.

At our office here in North San Bernardino the smoke is so bad the sun is turning orange and it is very heavy.

This and the Green Valley Lake Fire have potential for exponential growth with limited resources available to assist.  Latest reports are that winds are too severe for aircraft to be brought in at this time.

Unfortunately, San Bernardino County, unlike other surrounding counties, has no firefighting aircraft of their own but must depend on others for assistance.  The only dedicated firefighting helo is leased to CALFIRE and is busy fighting fires on state land.
