Pinon Hills south of the 138 was just downgraded. The map is on Watch Duty. They're saying the 138 is opening. I haven't checked to verify. Yippee!

Yes, I see vehicle activity on the 138 from my front window. Woohoooo!!!

I didn't see this anywhere but Facebook when I searched for it today. Our mail is apparently at the Phelan post office for pickup and has been getting delivered there while our post office has been closed.

They are returning mail to the proper post office. We're going to wait a day or two. Friends were able to pick up their mail today at the PH post office and mail routes resumed.

Note on an observation:

When we got back home last night (after a week away), I noticed visible and active flames. I believe the flames were near the top of the land slide area above the Sheep Creek wash. Initially I panicked a bit. We got in touch with a neighbor who had stayed in town, and they confirmed the flames had been visible for several nights.

Looking at the area during the daylight, I can see smoke but not flames. Not sure if that is just a visibility issue of daylight versus darkness, or if the flames have reduced to a smolder. Will check again tonight.

Comparing to some of the fire boundary maps, I think the flames we saw are within the marked boundary...so hopefully it is a "known issue" and a "non-issue" for us all

You can use this link to track the hot spots and flare ups. Zoom in to the Bridge Fire. You don't need to click on it. Just keep zooming in. The Mesa Fire yesterday over by Chrystalaire was on the map within an hour or less. So, it's pretty current.

We have also been noticing the active snags that are on fire near Wright Mountain. I brought this up at last nights Fire Safe Council meeting and a LA County Fire Chief said that there are firefighters on Blue Ridge Road working those hot spots. There is currently smoke showing from the Wright Mountain and slide area.

They don't show up on the mapping link tcaarabians provided
