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 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.

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.)
Not the best news today first thing with this map, but hopefully the firefighters are able to tackle those hot spots near Bluff Lake. Update as of 10:45PM PDT (but those hot spots crawling north were from at least an hour earlier).
