County officials have scheduled a fire recovery information fair for this afternoon. San Bernardino County’s Fire Emergency Local Assistance Center and other groups and agencies will be on hand to meet with mountain residents to discuss what kinds of assistance are available. The event is not a town hall-style meeting. The information fair will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Hootman Senior Center, 2929 Running Springs School Road, Running Springs.

With displaced victims of the recent wildfires moving from the National Orange Show evacuation center back home to the mountains, the county at noon today will scale back the scope of the Fire Emergency Local Assistance Center.
The FELAC, located in the Dome building at the National Orange Show, has served as a one-stop center housing more than 40 county, state, federal, and private agencies offering a wide array of services to help fire victims get back on their feet. The center has offered services ranging from counseling to small business assistance, from social services to property assessment, and from disaster aid to guidance on waste management.
