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!

Line Fire Maps:

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:
https://www.ospo.noaa.gov/products/land/hms.html#maps
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

3D Fire Map by Cal Fire
https://calfire-forestry.maps.arcgis.com/home/webscene/viewer.html?webscene=52683f25df174b0eb124dfb9a6831a98
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

This is an extremely helpful tool for obtaining visual data of previous wildfire events. The linked map is centered on Big Bear and Arrowhead lake.

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 far, the reports on Big Bear from the Cal Fire officials have been very positive. As such, I wanted to let people know what seemed open in town after I drove to the post office and back. This is as of noon, so they may or may not remain open depending on the air conditions, and fire status.

    The idea behind posting this is that these businesses may need some cash flow after this rough week, so I wanted to get the word out.

    Nottinghams
    Bear Noodle Bar
    North Pole Candy Co.
    Saucy Mama’s
    Oakside
    Dynasty
    Gaby’s Latin Flavors Get The Burger
    Moonridge Coffee Company

    Most fast food establishments appeared to be open
    (but maybe consider supporting local establishments!)

    Please let me know if I can expand this list, it is absolutely not a complete list and I may have missed things along the way! I did not drive through Big Bear City, so I can’t give a report on that.
