I wanted to put together a hub of resources for the Line Fire here on Lemmy. I hope this helps anyone who might find it!

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.

CleanAir Fire & Smoke Map

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.)

    Added it to the list! I’m new in town, so I’ve definitely never heard of that website. It’s great to see it! I came here because I wasn’t sure where to go, and figured I’d just draw in people from Reddit.

    Interesting - I suppose that makes a lot of sense why they’d let it get to the ridge, then! I was assuming they simply couldn’t do a thing about it until that point due to the terrain. I see some hot spots jumping in a bit as of the last update, it’ll be interesting to see where they draw a line.

    All of this information is more than I’ve heard, so it’s really fascinating to hear it! I appreciate you sharing here. And man, the smoke is actually becoming a problem where I live. I have three top notch HEPA air filters that are currently failing to keep the PM2.5 count below 90 on a totally sealed home. I may need to evacuate if doesn’t improve. Typically by the late evening/early morning it gets better. I saw stars last night in the AM, and blue sky this morning… so here’s to hoping this trend comes back around!
