The latest maps are being curated in the comments below multiple times a day, but the most up-to-date maps should always be the direct sources listed right here:

NOAA fire Map:

The most reliable and frequently updated map that shows satellite readings of fire spread. This includes hotspots outside the perimeter, and a comprehensive smoke plume map.

Official Cal Fire Map:
https://www.fire.ca.gov/incidents/2024/9/5/line-fire
Shows live aircraft positions, and is updated a few times a day. Very reliable and helpful to review evacuation warnings/orders

Not updated more than once or twice a day, but a very cool map to inspect.

Updated more often than the Cal Fire map, and shows real-time air quality readings

Big Bear City trash pickup was halted on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Water and Sewer services are all continuing without disruption. (and I haven’t personally experienced any power disruptions yet.)

    I created this map to help put this fire into perspective. The most similar fire I’ve found from the archives was the Pan Hot Springs Fire in 1970, which was also in September, and burned a very similar shape into the mountain. This is represented in purple on this map. This map was last updated an hour or so ago.
