The **Line Fire** was a large [wildfire](/source/Wildfire) that burned in [San Bernardino County, California](/source/San_Bernardino_County%2C_California). The fire began on September 5, 2024, at 6:33 PM [PDT](/source/Pacific_Time_Zone) near the community of [Highland](/source/Highland%2C_California) and spread into the [San Bernardino National Forest](/source/San_Bernardino_National_Forest). The fire forced the evacuation of multiple communities. On September 10, the [San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department](/source/San_Bernardino_County_Sheriff's_Department) identified and arrested 34-year-old Justin Wayne Halstenberg, a resident of [Norco](/source/Norco%2C_California), on suspicion of starting the fire on September 5.[1][2] As of December 23, 2024[\[update\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Line_Fire&action=edit), the Line Fire was reported as 100 percent contained at 43,978 acres (17,797 hectares).

## Background

The cause of the fire is believed to be arson.[3] It began during a multiple-day heatwave in Southern California. Downtown Los Angeles reached 112 °F (44 °C), the third time that temperature had been reached since 1877.[4]

## Progression

The Line Fire ignited on September 5 at around 6:00 p.m. PST along Baseline Road,[5] near its intersection with Alpin Street in [East Highlands](/source/East_Highlands%2C_California). The fire was originally named the Baseline Fire. The fire spread from that point into the [San Bernardino National Forest](/source/San_Bernardino_National_Forest).[6]

The [CAL FIRE](/source/California_Department_of_Forestry_and_Fire_Protection) Incident Management Team 3 was activated on September 6.[7]

On September 7, the fire began to expand rapidly into the [San Bernardino Mountains](/source/San_Bernardino_Mountains), prompting evacuation orders for the communities of [Running Springs](/source/Running_Springs%2C_California) and [Arrowbear Lake](/source/Arrowbear_Lake%2C_California).[8] Governor Gavin Newsom declared a [State of Emergency](/source/State_of_emergency) in San Bernardino County, authorizing the use of a Fire Management Assistance Grant (FMAG) from the [Federal Emergency Management Agency](/source/Federal_Emergency_Management_Agency) (FEMA).[9]

Rain helped contain the Line Fire between September 7 and September 8, 2024, with a combination of rain and smoke visible.

The [California National Guard](/source/California_National_Guard) was deployed, including four UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters, two C-130 aircraft, hand crews, and one military police company to assist with evacuations.[10]

On September 29, the fire saw a large flare up as it burned through the [Bear Creek](/source/Bear_Creek_(Santa_Ana_River_tributary)) and [Santa Ana River](/source/Santa_Ana_River) drainages. The increase in fire activity prompted evacuation orders for the communities of [Seven Oaks](/source/Seven_Oaks%2C_California) and [Angelus Oaks](/source/Angelus_Oaks%2C_California).[11]

As of December 23, 2024[\[update\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Line_Fire&action=edit), the fire was reported as 100 percent contained at 43,978 acres (17,797 hectares).[12]

The Line Fire was visible from [Redlands](/source/Redlands%2C_California) on September 29, 2024, twenty-four days after the fire began. [San Gorgonio Mountain](/source/San_Gorgonio_Mountain) is the peak on the right.

## Effects

### Evacuations

The fire on the morning of September 8, 2024

The Line Fire led to mandatory evacuation orders for over 9,200 homes.[5] Initial evacuation warnings were issued for neighborhoods in East [Highland](/source/Highland%2C_California) in the early morning of September 6, 2024.[13] By September 7, 2024, evacuation orders would be placed for neighborhoods along the foothills, extending into [San Bernardino](/source/San_Bernardino%2C_California), and for neighborhoods east of Calle Del Rio.[14]

Over the following days the mountain communities of [Green Valley Lake](/source/Green_Valley_Lake%2C_California), [Cedar Glen](/source/Cedar_Glen%2C_California), [Lake Arrowhead](/source/Lake_Arrowhead%2C_California), [Crestline](/source/Crestline%2C_California), Valley of Enchantment, and [Big Bear Valley](/source/Big_Bear_Valley) were placed under evacuation warnings.[15] Mandatory evacuation orders were issued for [Running Springs](/source/Running_Springs%2C_California), [Arrowbear Lake](/source/Arrowbear_Lake%2C_California), [Angelus Oaks](/source/Angelus_Oaks%2C_California), [Seven Oaks](/source/Seven_Oaks%2C_California), [Forest Falls](/source/Forest_Falls%2C_California), and [Mountain Home Village](/source/Mountain_Home_Village%2C_California).[16]

### Air quality related closures

The [South Coast Air Quality Management District](/source/South_Coast_Air_Quality_Management_District) issued an advisory on September 6, warning of health impacts in areas affected by windblown smoke.[5] On September 9, [Rim of the World Unified School District](/source/Rim_of_the_World_Unified_School_District) closed campuses to students. [Redlands Unified School District](/source/Redlands_Unified_School_District) and [Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified School District](/source/Yucaipa-Calimesa_Joint_Unified_School_District) closed all campuses to both students and staff. These closures would be extended through the end of the week on Friday, September 13.[17]

[San Bernardino Community College District](/source/San_Bernardino_Community_College_District) closed both of their campuses September 9-13, 2024, and the [University of Redlands](/source/University_of_Redlands) temporarily transitioned all classes online.[17]

### Aviation

On September 9th, the [Redlands Municipal Airport](/source/Redlands_Municipal_Airport) was closed to non-emergency aircraft. It was later reopened on September 20. [18] On October 1, the [Big Bear City Airport](/source/Big_Bear_City_Airport) was closed on to non-fire-fighting aircraft due to increased fire activity. It has since reopened.

On September 7, [CAL FIRE](/source/California_Department_of_Forestry_and_Fire_Protection) issued a warning against flying UAS ([Unmanned Aircraft Systems](/source/Unmanned_Aircraft_Systems)) in or around wildfires, reporting that there had been two separate drone incursions into the Line Fire the previous day.[19]

### Destruction

As of October 24, there have been 4 confirmed damaged structures, 1 confirmed destroyed structures, and 6 confirmed injuries. [20]

## Legal proceedings

On September 10, 2024, Justin Wayne Halstenberg, 34, was located and arrested on the suspicion of sparking the Line Fire.[21][22] San Bernardino County prosecutors charged Halstenberg with him with 11 counts of arson, including using incendiary devices to set multiple fires.[23][24] CalFire began an investigation, reviewing surveillance video and [automatic license plate readers](/source/Automatic_number-plate_recognition), which led investigators to conduct a search warrant at the home of Halstenberg, in the [City of Norco](/source/Norco%2C_California). Investigators said they located evidence supporting his arrest in the house as well as the car.[25] San Bernardino District Attorney’s Office stated the fire was ignited on Halstenberg’s third attempt start a blaze within an hour. The first attempt was reported and extinguished by firefighters. The second attempt was “stomped out by a good Samaritan.”[26] On September 17, 2024, Halstenberg pleaded not guilty.[27]

On May 23, 2025, Justin Wayne Halstenberg, was found guilty of starting the Line Fire. He was found guilty of seven counts related to the Line fire, and two counts related to a subsequent blaze, including aggravated arson of forest land and possession of flammable materials, according to the district attorney. Halstenberg faces a potential sentence of life in prison.[28][29]
