PASADENA, Calif.—The Bobcat Fire is currently 105,345 acres and is 15% contained. Yesterday afternoon, the fire west of Mount Wilson made a northerly push towards Highway 2 and firefighters were able to keep this in check. The north end towards the Antelope Valley continued to grow to both the west and east. The fire remains relatively quiet along the Highway 39 corridor and along the south side.
Today on the northern end of the fire’s perimeter towards Antelope Valley, firefighters are constructing both direct and indirect line to stop the fire from spreading to the east and west. Both hand and dozer line construction continues on the eastern and western flanks. On the southern perimeter, crews will continue securing line between Mount Wilson and Highway 2 today. For more details, visit InciWeb.
Representatives from the fire will provide another update and answer questions during tonight's virtual public meeting, which begins at 6:30. Watch the meeting live on the Bobcat Fire YouTube Channel or on Los Angeles County Fire's Facebook page. American Sign Language interpreters will be live-signing.
