On Tuesday evening the Slide Fire advanced through much of the Rowco neighborhood of Running Springs, as well as Fredalba and Smiley Park. The fire reached as far east as Mount R and westward to between Heaps Peak and Nob Hill. Reports of structures lost poured into dispatchers as strained resources were rendered helpless.
A mandatory evacuation remains in effect from Snow Valley to Crestline. Valley of Enchantment and Cedarpines Park remain under a voluntary evacuation. Highways 18, 330, 173, and 138 are closed west of Big Bear Dam to all non-emergency traffic, preventing residents who were caught off the mountain during the fire from returning.
