New Videos Demonstrate How Collaborative Fuels Treatments Protected Communities from 2024 Wildfires


September 4, 2025 – One year ago, the Line Fire on the San Bernardino National Forest threatened homes, infrastructure, and lives. At the same time, wildfires on the Angeles and Cleveland National Forests, the Bridge and Airport Fires, burned nearby, posing similar threats. Thanks to advanced planning and proactive forest management across Southern California forests, fire crews were able to hold the line and protect nearby communities. The Task Force showcased these videos at its recent Inland Empire Regional Meeting in addition to featuring panels with staff that were critical to implementing these proactive life-saving projects.
