section of the ten at the County Line Road. Cal Fire responding to that crash as well. Send back. All right. Sam thank you. We're following breaking news in San Bernardino County. Firefighters hope a break in the hot and windy weather will help them get a hold on the massive bridge fire, which now tops 50,000 acres this morning. Let's go to Gigi Garcia. Joining us now with the latest on what is now the biggest fire in California. Gigi Right. The biggest active fire. Brooke and Bob. Good morning. Good morning everyone. The cooler temperatures were definitely feeling them this morning, but we're also feeling some wind, which of course is concern now we're live on the 138 and BQE road here in Pinon Hills. And you are looking live at the National Guard, called in to assist firefighters and first responders here. They are keeping the road closed. There are several road closures in this area. This is just one of them. Again, the 138 and BQE Road. And take a look at this video of the bridge fire. This is cell phone video that showed the active flames on both sides of highway two. It was taken by a resident manager of Mount Keira Christian Camp near Mountain High Resort. Fueled by thick, dry brush and pushed along by the winds and higher elevations, fire officials have continuously said this fire is showing extreme fire behavior. Currently, thousands of structures are still threatened and while mandatory evacuation orders are in effect, not everyone has left. Pretty crazy because of the wind came through here. I couldn't even see the neighbor's house from the smoke. It was so thick. But, you know, I've done the brush fires before in the past and I'm pretty confident I can make sure that at least my house and my neighbor's houses are safe. Now, back at Mount Kiara, that's a popular Christian camp. They also rent the camp out to different nonprofits and different groups. Several buildings were burned down. They were lost. But the main buildings were told were spared. At last count, officials say 20 homes have been destroyed in Mount Baldy, just over a dozen in Wrightwood, and bringing it back here live about a dozen cabins or so in different remote areas. Keep in mind, if you're traveling this way again, there are many street closures, including one behind me right he
