I'm sure many of you are wondering about Big Bear and the current Radford fire. As of this afternoon at 12:13 pm, Sept 9th, containment has now increased to 59%. Great news for Big Bear. In addition, all schools are closed for the remainder of the week and the Radford Fire Unified Incident Commander is asking visitors to consider rescheduling planned visits to the Big Bear area due to fire activity. We'll see you when the ashes have all settled... 

For a comprehensive list of information including current fire maps and evacuations, please see the information below, released by the City of Big Bear Lake late yesterday.
