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 updates from the county and state are funneled through here multiple times a day.

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
https://fire.airnow.gov/#10.64/34.2049/-116.9408
Updated more often than the Cal Fire map, and shows real-time air quality readings

Historical map of the Big Bear area
https://projects.capradio.org/california-fire-history/#10.76/34.1852/-116.9961/0/1
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.)

    Another quick update: This map is kind of a Frankenstein’s Monster combination of four different maps…
    The new IR map that’s been added was actually skewed (not the exact dimensions of the others), so it is not precise.

    • The purple overlay gives us a historic perspective from the 1970’s fire
    • The red overlay shows a more detailed fire perimeter from the detailed IR Cal Fire Map
    • The base map is the primary Cal Fire map for the Line Fire
    • The hot spots are from the NOAA satellite map
    • The BRIGHT BLUE lines are a rough outline of “dozer lines”
    • The TRANSPARENT WHITE lines are planned “dozer lines”
