Advisory for Big Bear Valley

State Route 38

To? From? Big Bear Valley 

Be Prepared!

September 10, 2020___ 

Big Bear Fire Chief, San Bernardino County Fire Chief and Cal-Fire issued an Advisory to all communities within the Big Bear Valley.

The communities within the advisory area include: City of Big Bear Lake, Big Bear City, Moonridge, Sugarloaf, Lake Williams, Baldwin Lake, Fawnskin, and other neighborhoods. 

This Advisory is issued in response to the Eldorado Fire that has caused the closure of State Route 38 and the evacuation order of Angelus Oaks, Seven Oaks, Campgrounds, and other residences along SR-38 corridor up to Onyx Summit. 

The intent of this Advisory is to increase awareness of the potential threat to the Big Bear Valley from the El Dorado Fire.

In an effort to minimize the population of Big Bear Valley IF? an evacuation ultimately becomes necessary visitors are encouraged to postpone trips to the Big Bear Valley until the fire threat has passed. State Route 38 is closed to all traffic in both directions at Bryant Street in Yucaipa.  

State Route 18 West of Big Bear Valley has an advisory point set up at Snow Valley Ski Resort. 

State Route 18 North of Big Bear Valley has an advisory point set up at the Mitsubishi Cement Plant.   .
