[pct-l] So. Calif. NF Fire Danger Levels

[pbaily at webuniverse.net (Phil Baily)]

Does anyone know where the recent fire in San Bernardino NF was? I have not
seen a newspaper article with a map and have not found one on the web. I
understand that it was near Cabazon and near Highway 38. Was it east or west
of 38? Did it cover the PCT north of  the I-10?
