Nearly all evacuation orders and warnings have been lifted for communities in Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties affected by the Bridge Fire after it recently became California's largest actively burning wildfire.

Thousands of firefighting personnel were battling early on Friday a wholly uncontained wildfire spread over some 51,000 acres in the steep mountains north of Los Angeles.

The Bridge Fire in Southern California’s Angeles National Forest continued to grow Wednesday, consuming nearly 48,000 acres as of Wednesday morning — a day after it had reached 34,000 acres within a matter of hours. The blaze, first detected Sunday, is the largest active wildfire in the state.

The Line Fire displayed "minimal activity" in the early morning hours Sunday, giving some respite in the ongoing firefighting efforts in San Bernardino County.

Bridge Fire initially started 2:12 p.m. Sep. 8 in Los Angeles, San Bernardino County. After being active for two weeks, it has burned 54,877 acres. A fire crew of 1,910 succeeded in containing 71% of the fire by Sunday evening.
