The Bridge Fire erupted in size to more than 34,000 acres on Tuesday, and grew to 47,904 acres Wednesday morning, with 0% containment.
The Bridge Fire in the San Gabriel Canyon continued to grow overnight, spreading from Los Angeles to San Bernardino County, with firefighters actively fighting to save structures within the Wrightwood community Wednesday morning. This comes following an evening of life-safety efforts, where crews focused on rescuing people who could not escape the flames.
'This fire exploded into Wrightwood so quickly, that as we came into the community, our only priority was life-safety. We had deputies and firefighters going house to house finding people that were unable to evacuate, loading them up into ambulances, putting them into patrol cars, and doing whatever we could to get them out of the area,' Sherwin said.
