Evacuation orders were issued for parts of the county as the fire threatened many structures. By Monday evening, the fire was 75% contained. Unfortunately, several homes were destroyed and three dogs perished in the fire.
One person was briefly taken into custody in connection with the fire, but was later released. The cause of the fire is still unknown. The San Bernardino County Fire Protection District worked tirelessly to contain the fire and protect the residents in the affected areas. Despite the destruction, firefighters were able to prevent further damage and loss of life.
The Edgehill Fire serves as a reminder of the dangers of wildfires, especially during the hot summer months.
