The Big Bear Frontier resort remains unscathed by the Summit Fire that started yesterday, south of Big Bear Lake, CA. Currently, the fire is 50 percent contained with zero issues of smoke in the area.
The fire started yesterday around 12:25 p.m. near two forest service roads, located about a mile west of Snow Summit Mountain Resort and a half-mile south of Big Bear Elementary School. According to a report by Press Enterprise, smoke plumed as flames burned through dry vegetation in the San Bernardino National Forest.  As of 10:20 p.m., the fire had burned 100 acres — with no growth since about 5:30 — and crews had dug containment lines around 30 percent of the perimeter.
Current Conditions
“Today, things seem to be cooling down,” said Forest Service spokesman Chon Bribiescas, as reported by Press Enterprise at 10:08 a.m. on Monday, August 24th.
Bribiescas attributed the 20 percent boost in containment to the heavy use of tankers and helicopters dropping retardant over burning areas.
