My husband is coming up N4 and says there is a fire off to his left about 2 miles. Any information? Says he just got passed by his second fire unit.

He just got home and said from what he could determine it was in the vacinity of the 138 and 18 split and and San Bernardino and Forest Service Units passed him on their way down.

There's a fire called the Ramp Fire that's off the I15. Southbound near escape ramp.

My sources tell me that I-15 fire is quite small, although I saw a fair amount of engines and firefighters as I drove past.

Crazy weather today. Microbursts causing zero visibility in parts of Hesperia.

The fire is putting up a lot of smoke.

A total of 6 crews and a full complement of aircraft requested

The fire blew up and its across the lines. The high tension lines are arcing. We had to get a lot of people out of there, but we got the crews out safely.

From Victorville, something is putting up a lot of smoke to the south. Hard to tell if it is either the ramp fire for the 138/18 fire.

Fire in the pass is coming up due south of Wilson Ranch.
