By News Staff Member
Thursday, October 9, 2008
San Bernardino County, CA — Early this morning, drift smoke from a wild land fire burning in the Camp Pendleton area of Oceanside blew into San Bernardino County and is most prevalent in the mountain communities. Due to last year's Grass Valley and Slide Fires, many residents are on edge and this morning's smoke has caused concern in many mountain residents.
San Bernardino County Fire units have been patrolling the mountain communities and foothill areas throughout the night to ensure there are no fires. At this time there are no wild land fires burning in San Bernardino County. As the day warms up, the smoke is expected to lift.
In addition to the alerts and breaking news from RIMOFTHEWORLD.net, residents can keep updated on the fire status in their area by calling the County Fire Incident Information Line at (909) 355-8800.

Residents can also call the U.S. Forest Service information center at (909) 383-5688 for updates on fires burning in the San Bernardino National Forest.
