Running Springs Downtown Update
Firefighters have successfully - and repeatedly - held off the Slide Fire from Running Springs' downtown.
They are now moving to the other end of town - closer to Lake Arrowhead - to Pine Cone Drive, where the fire is burning.
This current incarnation of the blaze began Tuesday in Rimwood Canyon, a place near Rimwood Ranch where there are many million dollar homes.
“It laid down pretty good overnight but it flared up again,” said CHP officer Gary Fernandez.
Charles Hoffman Elementary School, which is about a quarter-mile away, is being threatened, he added.
“This is the worse I've seen in the 13 years I've been up here,” he said.
