Evacuation orders remained in effect near Big Bear on Wednesday as crews continued to battle a brush fire that has spread to nearly 1,000 acres.
BIG BEAR, Calif. (KABC) -- Evacuation orders remained in effect near Big Bear on Wednesday as crews continued to battle a brush fire that has spread to nearly 1,000 acres.
The blaze, located north of Highway 38 in the Barton Flats area, has burned about 917 acres and is 2% contained. Firefighters are attacking the flames from the air and the ground to keep the fire from jumping the ridgeline and prevent it from reaching Big Bear.
The Radford Fire was first spotted around 2 p.m. Monday in an area between the ski resorts Snow Summit and Bear Mountain.
The Snow Summit Ski Resort is helping firefighters with their equipment to keep the fire from jumping over that ridge.
"We're actively monitoring the situation. We are having our staff on site to monitor and use our snow-making infrastructure as needed for suppression and containment," said Justin Kanton with Snow Summit.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department ordered evacuations for several areas, including Glass Road to South Fork River Road in the Seven Oaks area.
Another evacuation order was issued for residents between Beverly Lane and Castlerock as well as Summit Boulevard East to Club View and Evergreen Drive South.
An evacuation warning was issued for areas from Club View to Angels Camp from Vine to Lassen; and for Summit Boulevard to McAllister Road to Highway 18 between Fox Farm and Evergreen.
A Red Cross evacuation center was established at Big Bear High School on Maple Lane for affected residents.
Bear Valley Unified schools, excluding Fallsvale School, will be closed Wednesday due to the blaze, school officials announced.
Caltrans says State Route 38 is closed in both directions from Mill Creek Road to Lakewood Road, according to the San Bernardino National Forest.
The cause of the fire has not been determined and remains under investigation.

Most home and business fires start within the building. For example, a smoldering cigarette dropped into a trash can full of paper could ignite into flames. If the fire is not extinguished while in this early phase, it could spread throughout the structure.
How do the flames spread beyond the confines of the trash can to the rest of the building? Learn more about this destructive force to help prevent it from damaging your home or business.
Fire is a chemical process requiring three things to occur: oxygen, fuel and an ignition source. Without one of these factors, a fire can’t start or will burn itself out.
In all chemical processes, molecules rearrange themselves and energy is either absorbed or expelled. When a fire burns, a process called oxidation occurs, the same process that causes metal to rust. Oxidation is when oxygen atoms combine with carbon and hydrogen to form carbon dioxide and water. When metal rusts, the process happens very slowly, but when a fire burns, heat and energy is released very quickly.
The rate of oxidation is especially fast with fuel sources such as paper and wood. When heat can’t release faster than it’s created, combustion occurs. This is what creates the flame and heat we call fire. Smoke comprised of unburnt particles, evaporated water and carbon dioxide is also produced, though the cleaner the burning process, the less smoke you see.
Once started, a building fire is likely to spread until all fuel has been used up. This could have devastating consequences for your home or business. By understanding how fire spreads, you may be better equipped to extinguish it.

The best way of protecting yourself in a fire is to understand the behaviour of fire and how it spreads.
Fire is fast, hot and deadly. Every day people are experiencing the horror of a fire. With a lack of understanding, it can end in tragedy.
Once you can recognise how fire behaves, you can help to prevent a fire and stay safe.
It’s easy to overlook just how quick a small fire can spread. You won’t have time to rescue valuables. It can take only 5 minutes for a whole property to go up in flames.
There are 6 ways in which a fire will commonly spread:
Initially, this is how fires normally spread until the heat builds up.
Fire will either travel along or through any combustible or flammable material it comes in contact with.
For example, a stack of cardboard boxes will enable a fire to quickly spread and build.
This is the process we use when we light a candle with a match. But it also how a candle can cause curtains to go up in flames.
As a fire increases in intensity, it will give off more heat.
Heat can transfer through electromagnetic waves. This is what makes us feel hot when we stand outside in the sun.
From a fire, this can cause nearby objects to catch alight if enough radiated heat reaches it.
This is why you should never place combustible materials near a radiator or build a bonfire near a fence or shed.
This is another way in which a fire can spread via heat transfer.
Any materials, such as metals, which can absorb and transfer heat are thermal conductors. An example of this is when your saucepan handle gets hot.
This allows a fire to spread through walls or steelwork.
And if there is a flammable material on the other side, it can heat up and cause a fire to spread into a neighbouring room or building.
When trying to escape a fire , you should always stay as low as possible. This is because hot gas and smoke rise above any cold air.
Ceilings then trap and prevent it moving any higher, which then causes everything to build up.
Not only is this dangerous if breathed in, but this too can cause a fire to spread.
If enough heat, fuel and oxygen build up in this area, it will create its own fire away from the original.
Once this happens, the fire will quickly engulf a whole room in seconds.
When convection has caused a hot layer of gas to establish, it will then begin to radiate the heat downwards.
The temperature in the room will continue to rise to around 500 o C. Breathing in the air at this temperature will quickly scorch your lungs.
At these temperatures, any combustible materials in the room, such as furniture, will start to give off flammable gases.
A near-simultaneous ignition can then begin and change a ‘fire in a room’ to a ‘room on fire’.
A well-established fire has plenty of heat and fuel, but will often lack oxygen if there is no ventilation.
This causes the fire to begin to ‘die’ and fill a room of partially burnt particles in the form of soot.
But if a door opens or a window breaks, air will rush into the room. This can then re-ignite the fire, gases and soot with an explosive force.
This will send the fire out of the door or window and cause its spread.
It is for this reason then, that no-one should ever go back into a burning building. And if you ever suspect a fire on the other side of a door, don’t open it. Instead, find an alternative means of exit.
Having this basic understanding means you understand how to best prevent a fire. But also, how you should react in the event of a fire.
This gives you, and everyone with you, the best chance of survival.
And you can help others by sharing this advice with them.
