SCM ALERT🚨 on Saturday 29 August 2026 - 19:22:13

As of 5:22 p.m. on August 29, the primary SCE transmission lines serving Big Bear Valley from Lucerne Valley met SCE’s criteria for possible de-energization within the next four hours.

A shutoff has not been confirmed. If SCE de-energizes these lines, BVES will have very limited capacity, and some or all customers may experience an outage. Customers should prepare for the possibility of an extended outage and continue monitoring BVES updates.

Kidding of course! Lol

Probably a construction worker with all the spec homes they're building back there! It's like a small city!

BootsNBridles on Saturday 29 August 2026 - 11:26:25

Thanks. I suspected that was the incident but never saw them lift anyone out. That's back in Carloyn Cooke's subdivision- wonder what happened?

Hey Boots! A rescue helicopter was dispatched for an unconscious person east of Erwin Lake yesterday around 1pm. The incident is on the list from yesterday but you would never know it was a helicopter rescue. I saw it on the chatter between Big Bear Fire and Air Rescue 08.

Yesterday morning there was a helicopter circling out over the dry lake in Erwin and surrounding the hills for a long time. Nothing is in incidents. Anyone know what was going on?

West end of BB Valley: picking up the scent of drift smoke perhaps, but from where??

Gorn on Thursday 27 August 2026 - 18:09:29

Thank you. I checked the incident and must have looked right at it. If that pin drop is accurate, it would have been a bit of a hike down to the gun site along the Siberia trail. I saw BBFA and county heading up this morning.

I saw something like this in Pasadena once and a fire authority told me it isn't so much all the equipment that is needed as much as the number of people for the rescue. I certainly hope the story had a happy ending.
