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!

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

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.)
So, I haven’t seen an update all day with regards to the maps… This is very abnormal compared to the last week, but not necessarily bad news.
In the good news category, this is the cleanest air day I’ve seen so far all week. The PM 2.5 count was over 800 for most of last night, up until about 1AM when I noticed the stars were visible. Today has been really nice, though… 50-100 at the start, and it’s down to 15-20 right now.
There’s a distinct lack of wind here, and (judging by the wind map on MyRadar) over the fire right now. This seems like great news when paired with this being the coldest day since the fire started.
