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

Not updated more than once or twice a day, but a very cool map to inspect.

Updated more often than the Cal Fire map, and shows real-time air quality readings

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.)
