On September 7, 2024, at 1:57 PM, a wildfire that had previously been moving in a different direction changed course due to shifting winds and weather, now threatening the community of Running Springs. Authorities have issued an evacuation warning for the southeast side of town, affecting areas east of Highway 330 and south of Highway 18. Residents, already on edge, are seen packing their belongings and leaving as thick smoke fills the sky, ash falling from the air. The sun’s red glow intensifies the unsettling atmosphere, as the town prepares for a potential disaster. Law enforcement from across the region is stationed throughout the mountain, with dozens of patrol units arriving to assist with what may soon be mandatory evacuations.
