#SummitFire 
Location: Jesus Canyon Rd East and Avenue Z, Llano
Start Date: July 10, 2026
Acres Burned: 2,690
Containment: 8%
Personnel: 644
Damaged/Destroyed: 1 Damaged Residence / 1 Minor Structure Destroyed

Current Situation: Interior pockets continued to actively burn and challenge containment lines. Significant winds and weather presented the potential for established spots to spread rapidly. Steep and rugged terrain created access challenges. Despite this, hard work on the ground in combination with persistent air attacks limited perimeter growth along the fire’s edge.
Fire Weather: Significant wind shifts occurred to the northwest early afternoon and to the south later in the afternoon/early evening. The potential for rapid fire growth with erratic fire behavior remains high.
Another round of hot and dry conditions combined with gusty winds will bring elevated critical fire weather conditions to the fire region this afternoon and evening. With higher mixing heights today (up to 14,000 feet this afternoon), there will be an increased risk of large plume dominated fire behavior.

Tomorrow’s Outlook: The current state of the weather and vegetation hold the potential for significant fire behavior and rapid fire growth. Crews on the ground and in the air will remain vigilant in their efforts to mitigate and contain this fire.

Summit Fire Morning Update 7/12/26
Acres Burned: 2,690
Containment: 15%
Personnel: 644

Current Situation: Crews have made significant progress on the Summit Fire and forward progress has stopped. Hot and dry conditions combined with gusty winds persist across the fire area. The northern portion of the fire is difficult to access due to limited roads, and firefighters are dealing with difficult terrain in the southern portion of the fire. There is still potential for significant fire behavior and rapid growth. Firefighters continue to construct fire line and in some areas are mopping up hot spots.

Fire Weather: Significant wind shifts occurred to the northwest early afternoon and to the south later in the afternoon/early evening. The potential for rapid fire growth with erratic fire behavior remains high. Another round of hot and dry conditions combined with gusty winds will bring elevated critical fire weather conditions to the fire region this afternoon and evening. With higher mixing heights today (up to 14,000 feet this afternoon), there will be an increased risk of large plume dominated fire behavior.

Tomorrow's Outlook: The current state of the weather and vegetation hold the potential for significant fire behavior and rapid fire growth. Crews on the ground and in the air will remain vigilant in their efforts to mitigate and contain this fire.

#SummitFire    July 12 Evening Update
Location: Jesus Canyon Rd East and Avenue Z, Llano
Start Date: July 10, 2026
Acres Burned: 2,690
Containment: 31%
Personnel: 1,068
Damage Residences: 3 / Residence Destroyed: 1
Minor Structures Damaged: 2 / Minor Structure Destroyed: 1

Current Situation: Firefighters have stopped forward progress on the Summit Fire. Crews continue to mop up hot spots and build containment lines. As tactical objectives are met, Unified Command successfully downgraded and lifted several Evacuation Orders and Evacuation Warnings today, significantly reducing the number of threatened structures. CAL FIRE Damage Inspection (DINS) personnel successfully accessed cleared portions of the affected area today, providing validated updates to the damaged and destroyed structure counts.

Fire Weather: The fire area experienced significant wind activity; however, there was minimal perimeter growth today. Active fire behavior remains confined to the interior of the fire footprint. Pockets of unburned fuel continue to consume, and heavy fuels are smoldering, producing localized smoke. Isolated single-tree torching was observed well within the interior perimeter, posing no threat to established containment lines.

Tomorrow’s Outlook: Winds are expected to stay active over the next 24 hours, but crews are holding the fire lines steady. Fire growth is not expected. There is expected to be smoke and even some brief flare-ups (like individual trees catching fire), but this is all well inside the areas that have already burned.

Evacuations: All Evacuation Orders have been lifted. Evacuation Warnings remain for Zones LAC-E107-A and LAC-E127-C

#SummitFire
Location: Jesus Canyon Rd East and Avenue Z, Llano
Start Date: July 10, 2026
Acres Burned: 2,690
Containment: 39%
Personnel: 1,068
Residences Damaged: 3 / Residences Destroyed: 1
Minor Structures Damaged: 2 / Minor Structures Destroyed: 1

Crews are currently holding containment lines steady, mopping up hot spots, and no further fire growth is expected.
The Summit Fire Unified Command has announced that Evacuation Warnings (ready to evacuate at a moment’s notice) will remain in effect for Zones LAC-E107-A and LAC-E127-C until further notice. This cautious approach is due to active incoming winds, potential interior fire behavior, and a heavy presence of emergency vehicles operating throughout the area. Road closures will also remain in place. Keeping these warnings active ensures that both fire crews and the public remain safe while critical operations continue.

Although all Evacuation Orders were downgraded Sunday, active winds mean residents may still see localized smoke and brief interior flare-ups. Because these flare-ups are well inside the established burn area, they pose no threat to containment lines. CAL FIRE Damage Inspection (DINS) personnel have already begun safely accessing cleared zones to validate structure counts, and officials thank the community for their continued cooperation as personnel work to fully secure the area.

#SummitFire
Location: Jesus Canyon Rd East and Avenue Z, Llano
Start Date: July 10, 2026
Acres Burned: 2,690
Containment: 47%
Personnel: 1,060
Residences Damaged: 4 / Residences Destroyed: 1
Minor Structures Damaged: 3 / Minor Structure Destroyed: 1

Current Situation
Firefighters continue making progress building control lines and putting out hot spots. Interior pockets of the Summit Fire continue to burn while larger fuels smolder and produce visible smoke. Heavy annual rainfall has created a dense fuel bed, and recent winds, high temperatures, and low relative humidities have rapidly dried out thinner, smaller fuels, creating a highly receptive fuel bed. Suppression crews are operating in steep, rocky terrain, while narrow roads present additional driving hazards. CAL FIRE Damage Inspection Teams (DINS) have completed approximately 90% of the assessments.

Fire Weather
A Heat Advisory remains in effect until Tuesday morning, when an Extreme Heat Warning takes effect through Thursday evening. The incident footprint will transition into an Extreme Heat Warning beginning at 10:00am Tuesday, increasing the risk of heat-related illness for ground personnel.

Tomorrow's Outlook
Operational priorities will focus on maintaining strict safety protocols amidst the intense heat while monitoring for potential thunderstorm development. Crews will remain vigilant for erratic outflow winds and dry lightning, which could cause unpredictable fire behavior, while continuing to navigate the hazards of steep terrain and rolling debris.
Crews will continue strengthening control lines and mopping up hot spots. They will also identify secondary control line locations.

Illegal Fireworks Identified As Cause Of Summit Fire That Burned Nearly 2,700 Acres
Victor Valley News Group Victor Valley News Group Updated 7:49 pm | Jul. 13, 2026

LLANO, Calif. (VVNG.com) — Illegal fireworks have been identified as the cause of the Summit Fire that burned nearly 2,700 acres along the Los Angeles and San Bernardino county line, according to San Bernardino County Fire Assistant Chief Kelly Anderson.

Anderson, who serves as the Assistant Chief of the North Desert Division for the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District, made the announcement Monday, July 13, during the City of Adelanto’s Fireworks Workshop.

The Summit Fire ignited on Friday, July 10, near Jesus Canyon Road East and Avenue Z in the Llano area of Los Angeles County. Fueled by dry vegetation, hot temperatures and gusty winds, the fire spread rapidly, prompting evacuation orders and warnings in portions of Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties while drawing a massive multiagency response.

#SummitFire Update for July 15
Location: Jesus Canyon Rd East and Avenue Z, Llano
Start Date: July 10, 2026
Acres Burned: 2,690
Containment: 72%
Personnel: 799
Residences Damaged: 4 / Residences Destroyed: 4
Minor Structures Damaged: 3 / Minor Structure Destroyed: 1

Current Situation: Thanks to the extraordinary efforts of crews and staff the operational objective has progressed to focus on keeping the within its current footprint. Predicted fire activity today is minimal. A low probability of thunderstorms lingers in the background and thevegetation remains highly receptive to ignition. Heavy fire and maintenance equipment will be working within and around the fire and residents are urged to drive with caution.

Fire Weather: An Extreme Heat Warning remains in effect through Thursday evening, with highs in the 90s increasing the risk of heat illness. A moderate chance of thunderstorms today could bring lightning, brief heavy rain, and sudden 40–50 mph wind gusts. Stronger southerly winds are expected Thursday, and no Red Flag Warning is currently planned for the Summit Fire. This prolonged heat, combined with steep, rocky terrain and narrow roads, presents significant hazards.

Tomorrow’s Outlook: Crews will continue mopping up hot spots and patrolling control lines. Sustained heat and receptive fuels may reactivate previously dormant heat sources. Recent burn areas and the continued efforts of ground and air crews will mitigate the likelihood of flare ups or new ignitions.
