SAN BERNARDINO - A Wildland fire is burning just east of Silverwood Lake on the north side of the San Bernardino Mountains.
Dubbed the Pilot fire, it had burned about 45 to 50 acres as of 1:30 p.m., San Bernardino National Forest officials said via Twitter. There are no evacuations and no immediate structure threat.
Highway 138 is closed between Highway 173 and Mill Creek, Caltrans tweeted.
The fire was reported just after noon Sunday, Aug. 7, off Highway 138 and Pilot Rock Road, said Bob Poole, a San Bernardino National Forest spokesman. The fire is burning uphill toward a ridge above the lake.
Poole said shortly after 1 p.m. that there was “a long ways to go” before any structures might be threatened.
The fire is putting up so much smoke that it can be seen from southwest Riverside County and Barstow.
Cal Fire San Bernardino Unit is assisting with response to the fire, which is described as near the state's Pilot Rock Conservation Camp, according to the agency's Twitter feed. The fire agency jointly operates the camp with the state Department of Corrections and provide inmate crews for firefighting. - PRESS ENTERPRISE
