#VistaFire Update: This fire is managed under a full suppression strategy. Fire is burning in brush and timber within steep and rugged rocky terrain, making access difficult in some areas. Fire behavior was active on all fronts today and established in Cold Water Canyon and made significant uphill runs to the west. Crews attacked the fire from the ground and air, using fire engine modules to suppress the fire with hose lays, as hotshot crews and dozers cut line around the fire's perimeter. Aircraft were used to slow the progression at the head and flanks of the fire so crews could engage and cut line. The Mt. Baldy Resort has been evacuated as the area is still threatened. Poor air quality is impacting the community of Mt. Baldy. Visit AirNow.gov for information. Lytle Creek Road remains closed to the public, with access only to local residents. High temperatures continue to be a concern to firefighters as forecasts call for the same. This evening, the San Bernardino County Fire Department returned to Unified Command as the fire threatened Mt. Baldy. At 0600 tomorrow morning, California Complex Incident Management Team 15 will take command of the fire. The fire acreage will remain at 588 acres until an IR flight can be made.
