The fire, known as the Line fire, has burned approximately 43,000 acres and is currently 80 percent contained, though it continues to pose challenges for crews due to its location in steep terrain.
Firefighters are working tirelessly, directing the fire down to the Santa Ana River in a race against time, as residents face multiple evacuations and concerns for their homes.
Weather conditions have dramatically impeded the fight against the Line fire, as the region has seen extreme heat and dryness, which after years of wet conditions, has created the perfect fuel for wildfires.
Insurers are increasingly exiting the market in fire-prone areas like the San Bernardino Mountains, forcing residents to either pay exorbitant rates or accept substantial risk to their property.
