Wildfire flareup prompts new evacuations in Southern California mountain communities
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) — California residents near a wildfire that is largely contained have been ordered to evacuate after the blaze in San Bernardino County flared up. The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department told residents of Seven Oaks to leave the community ahead of a surge in the Line Fire on Sunday afternoon. The sheriff’s department also has issued an evacuation order for Angelus Oaks and a warning for the Boulder Bay area along Big Bear Lake. As of Sunday, the Line Fire was spread over 40,098 acres with 83% of the fire contained. A California man has pleaded not guilty to starting the fire. Temperatures are expected to spike this week across California, raising the risk of wildfires statewide.
