Authorities Need Your Help

Authorities are looking for a gray or blue-over-gray Chevy Astro van similiar to the one pictured below. It could be a 2000-2002 van. Two white male occupants were seen throwing burning objects from the van along Waterman Canyon Drive.

If you remember seeing anything, regardless of how insignificant, call (909) 384-5615. If you see a suspect van call 9-1-1 immediately.

We have stayed in a cute rental cabin in Big Bear. We have very fond memories from our stay. I am heavy hearted.

Blue Jay is a mandatory evac,

When does your family plan on leaving? Just in time to tie up the FF?

I went to camp several times at the Lutheran camp behind Rim of the World HS....and have been to Big Bear annually the past 12 years, staying at one of our employees cabins

"there were spot fires reported 6 miles south of Moonridge tonight"

Wow, I've got a friend who has a weekend home and a couple rental cabins in Moonridge. I'll call her tomorrow. Thanks for the update.

I'm headed to bed, thanks to all of you monitoring the scanners, climbing on the roof, etc. :), for giving us the firsthand reports and info. You all are doing a great job.

Just over here weeping. . .some very beautiful country.

For 25 years i've been hiking up San Gorgonio and the nearby peaks...I'm praying for a miracle...

Multiple structures burning at blackfoot. no additional resources available

Let's hope this fire spurs some common sense into those that block forst management.

Despite the fact that these fires have raged through "National Forests" most of what has been burning is brush. When the day comes that someone offers to pay money to clear brush away Cailfornia's wildfire problems will be mostly solved. Until then, fire breaks and occasional small brush fires seem to be the best solutions.

now to be petty, but how do i fix my name, the (Runn) part?

Scanner: front of the fire on STrawberry peak is laying down. Not moving as fast as it was.
