The Line Fire has scorched 20,553 acres between Highland and Running Springs since it began on Thursday, September 5. Zero containment has been achieved. No structures have been damaged or destroyed. Three firefighters have been injured.
The incident is under the Unified Command of CAL FIRE San Bernardino-Inyo-Mono Unit, City of Highland; the San Bernardino National Forest; the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District; and the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.
