As it slows, firefighters' focus in 13,000-acre blaze in San Bernardino Mountains turns to prevention

The 13,000-acre Lake fire that began in the Barton Flats area burned to the east Friday but didn’t grow as rapidly, allowing firefighters to take preventive measures along Highway 38 to the north.

Had it advanced across the 38, it would have gone “straight toward Big Bear and there’s nothing to stop it,” said Jay Enns, a U.S. Forest Service division chief.

Hard work from water-dropping helicopters and hand crews on the ground stopped that scenario from happening.
