The latest maps are being curated in the comments below multiple times a day, but the most up-to-date maps should always be the direct sources listed right here:
NOAA fire Map: https://www.ospo.noaa.gov/products/land/hms.html#maps The most reliable and frequently updated map that shows satellite readings of fire spread. This includes hotspots outside the perimeter, and a comprehensive smoke plume map.
Big Bear City trash pickup was halted on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Water and Sewer services are all continuing without disruption. (and I haven't personally experienced any power disruptions yet.)
So far, the reports on Big Bear from the Cal Fire officials have been very positive. As such, I wanted to let people know what seemed open in town after I drove to the post office and back. This is as of noon, so they may or may not remain open depending on the air conditions, and fire status.
The idea behind posting this is that these businesses may need some cash flow after this rough week, so I wanted to get the word out.
Nottinghams Bear Noodle Bar North Pole Candy Co. Saucy Mama's Oakside Dynasty Gaby's Latin FlavorsGet The Burger Moonridge Coffee Company
Most fast food establishments appeared to be open
(but maybe consider supporting local establishments!)
Please let me know if I can expand this list, it is absolutely not a complete list and I may have missed things along the way! I did not drive through Big Bear City, so I can't give a report on that.
