Line Fire update from Big Bear Lake Sept 10th 9:30am
Went out to the middle of big Bear Lake for a quick view of the smoke to assess the situation before deciding whether or not to evacuate ahead of the mandatory order. As of 12:30 PM today, there was still no mandatory evacuation, but unfortunately the fire is continuing to grow at a rapid rate, and the winds have become more aggressive as expected. Cruise are over on the west end of the valley ready to protect structures and do vegetation mitigation to prevent further spread. As of 4:30 PM there is a mandatory evacuation now in place for the communities from big Bear Dam to Alpine slide area basically the west end of the valley on the south shore. I believe they are conducting full evacua...

    Copied from Facebook BIG BEAR page: LINE FIRE INFORMATION 🔥 UPDATED WED 09/11 @ 8:45 AM Size: 34,659 Acres Contained: 14% A MANDATORY EVACUATION ORDER IS IN NOW IN EFFECT FOR SOUTHWESTERN BIG BEAR LAKE - SECTION BBC08 [Click Here] EVAC ORDERS ARE STILL IN PLACE FOR SEVEN OAKS & ALL SURROUNDING CAMPGROUNDS, ANGELUS OAKS, MOUNTAINS HOME VILLAGE, FOREST FALLS, GREEN VALLEY LAKE, RUNNING SPRINGS, AND ARROWBEAR. A VOLUNTARY EVACUATION WARNING IS STILL IN EFFECT FOR THE REMAINDER OFTHE BIG BEAR VALLEY AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITIES OF LAKE ARROWHEAD, CEDAR GLEN, CRESTLINE, VALLEY OF ENCHANTMENT, AND THE FOOTHILLS OF HIGHLAND. In the overnight hours of the Line Fire Wednesday, fire activity was moderated due to smoke shading and cooler weather. However, the fire grew on the north and east sides due to slope and vegetation driven runs. Public safety power shutoffs occurred on one of the two main supply lines to Big Bear Valley including potential evacuation zones. This caused possible power interruptions when electrical demand exceeded thresholds. Today elevated winds and continued dry conditions will allow the fire to grow. Smoke from fires across the region will help moderate fire activity unless the skies clear and the smoke thins. That would allow for more slope and vegetation aligned runs. There are 3,179 personnel assigned to the fire. Limited resource availability continues to hamper control efforts. There are currently 65,600 structures that are still threatened. A Damage Inspection Team (DINS) is working in the area to identify any structures that may have been damaged or destroyed.

(Oh and I got ads so you must be doing well!) aside from those of us who just want to see your adventures on the lake! You know, today when I was on my way to get a massage, I saw this guy walking on the road picking up trash...he reminded me of you and others who do this for their (our) communities...I rolled down my window and yelled to him 'thank you for your service' and he told me 'your welcome...have a great day!' ...that was the epitome of human kindness, caring for the environment and human decency. It made my heart smile, a lot. It made me want to leave my car and go help him collect trash. That is inspiring stuff right there. It was a busy time of day, so no way people didn't see him, I wonder how many people noticed? But to him and I, he made all the difference even if no one else noticed. That I think encompasses what you do, I recognize it and I honor you and thank YOU for your service to Big Bear and to the community (as well as to all the people you massage daily). We all reap the rewards whether were aware of it or not! Well done! Oh btw, your pics of this year look how it looked when I left in 2014. Do you happen to know what the lake level was then? I would guess it was very very close. I am happy for Big Bear that it is almost full again and I hope it continues to prosper and bring prosperity to the community. I know that you and Syd always prosper no matter what, you guys are a couple that inspires people all around you and beyond. Tell Syd I said Hi! :) Chirl

      Hi Frank! I would highly recommend it, there’s so much water in the back roads of Holcomb Valley right now, not many other vehicles would be able to do with this one does especially in a tour group while playing the theme song to Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park!

    Hay Big-D!; Hi Howdy. Man dude thanks for your posting's they give me a chance to see the hill again & reflect on what Big Bear was like some 50 years ago when I roamed your stomping grounds. I woke up one morning to the sound of the donkeys outside my friend's cabin in Bear City one winter looking for food. I had paid my friend back by chipping in on making a great supper to earn my keep there; well I had a lot of left over raw-carrots & there wasn't anyway we'd eat them all. That night before we hit the rack & crashed I put out two bags worth of them in a spot the donkeys had been gathering the last few days. Sure enough they'd shown up to feed & as I headed out I got some great pictures of them with my 4X4 Van in the background during "Old Miners Days" back then: Awesome! Big-D Awesome!: Thanks BFC

      Hey, no problem glad to bring you content that you like! Big bear is such a special place. The donkeys make it even better, at least in my opinion lol some people don’t like them, but I think they are awesome.

    We have wild donkeys in Redlands . Wonder if they came from BB?

    • @DanielMorello
      @DanielMorello 7 месяцев назад

      Hi Jolene! That is news to me. Where in Redlands have you seen some? I would assume they are from the high desert, but there's many routes they could take to go lower in elevation. Interesting!

    You are wrong about the origins of the Big Bear donkeys. I lived in BBL for 30 years and there are a couple of myths... but this is what really happened. I am sure you have witnessed Old Miners Days. It started in the mid 1940's and among other goofy events there was a Burro Derby. It lasted 3 days and consisted of different contests. Anyway down through the years it all got very commercial and lots of other Mining stuff was added. The wild burros were brought up from the desert and Yucca Valley and after the race were let lose in Holcomb Valley. I don't remember the year but eventually they stopped the race as the donkeys were migrating all over Big Bear and causing lots of damage to homes (including mine) by eating the siding and breaking into houses. They also caused lots of dangerous accidents in the middle of roads especially Hwy 38 by congregating where cars couldn't see them until the last minute. So over the years the donkeys were caught and taken to places were they could safely live. Some locals also adopted them. I moved away in 2010 and heard from friends that some donkeys have returned however.

      Very much appreciate your great explanation and history lesson, when I record these videos they’re very much in the moment with no script. However, I am aware of the origins of the donkeys that are in our area and you are absolutely correct. Really appreciate the feedback and Information, and thank you for checking out my channel 🙏👍😌
