Fire crews are preparing for more prescribed burning in the Big Bear area of the San Bernardino
National Forest this week. 229 acres will be targeted. Smoke will be visible.

At least three days of burning are scheduled due to optimal weather conditions for safe and productive ignitions. Predicted overnight relative humidity recoveries are expected to limit smoke dispersion into the communities, but residents and visitors should be aware smoke may be noticeable.
“Spending time in a forest ecosystem where fire has a natural role means occasionally spending time with fire and smoke,” said Mountaintop District Ranger Marc Stamer. “We recognize the concern about smoke and try our best to choose burn windows when the impact will be less.”
This week’s planned burns, along with previous and future ones across Bear Valley, cumulatively builds and maintains a buffer around the community. That buffer changes fuel-driven fire behavior by slowing
it down while also creating a safe space for firefighters to work.
