Firefighters responded around 6 p.m. Monday to a wildfire in the area of Thurman Flats, near the community of Mountain Home Village. The fire, named the Green fire, was reported to be spreading at a moderate rate. According to Watch Duty, a nonprofit that tracks wildfires, the fire had grown to about 33 acres by Monday night.
Evacuation warnings were issued for Mountain Home Village as the fire advanced. The warnings alert residents to prepare for possible evacuation if conditions deteriorate.
The Green fire is burning in steep terrain with heavy vegetation, which is fueling its growth. Firefighters face difficult access and are working to contain the blaze. Watch Duty noted that the fire has the potential to impact Mountain Home Village in a few hours if it continues on its current trajectory.
San Bernardino County is no stranger to wildfires, especially in its mountainous regions. Mountain Home Village is a small, unincorporated community nestled in the San Bernardino Mountains, where dry conditions and Santa Ana winds often heighten fire risk. The evacuation warnings underscore the immediate threat to this rural area.
The region has experienced several significant wildfires in recent years, including the 2020 El Dorado Fire, which burned over 22,000 acres and destroyed multiple homes. Such events have led to increased awareness and preparedness among local residents and fire agencies. The Green fire is a reminder of the ongoing fire danger in Southern California's wildland-urban interface.
As the Green fire continues to burn, officials urge residents in Mountain Home Village to stay alert and prepare to evacuate if necessary. Firefighters are working to contain the blaze, but shifting winds and dry fuels remain concerns. Follow local authorities for updates.
