Valley Fire (San Bernardino County) Started 7/06/2018, updated 7/07/2018

The fire is moving north and east, higher into the San Gorgonio Wilderness Area. Fire remained active throughout the day, and smoke will be visible to many in the Inland Empire. Firefighting resources continue to arrive on the fire. Southern California Incident Management Team 2, a type 2 team, joined unified command of the fire today at 6:00 P.M. Debris flows occurred this afternoon on Hwy 38 at milepost 14 due to the thunderstorms. Access to Valley of the Falls Dr. is now closed, with no current estimate for re-opening. Highway 38 remains closed between Bryant St. and Lake Williams. The upper fire area is actively burning and was not impacted by the rain. Rain was heavier along the west side of the fire, and much lighter on the east side. Although rain moderated fire behavior today, forest conditions are still very dry due to extended 10-year drought. ? To get more information: US Forest Incidnet Information page
