Life as usual in the path of the wildfires
Big Bear: Other than the water-dropping helicopters picking up water from the lake every 15-30 minutes everything in Big Bear is business as usual, despite the fact that the skys to the south are filled with giant plumes of smoke from the wildfires.
Barton Flats: Only 5 miles north of the fires, Barton Flats camping area remains open. Because the fires are so close, the campgrounds are virtually empty according the campground hosts.
Angelus Oaks: Residents of the Seven Oaks Mountain Cabins in Angelus Oaks do not seem concerned about the fires, despite how close they are. The biggest worry is that nearby Highway 38 could soon be closed by the California Highway Patrol.
