Schools in Big Bear Valley will remain closed for a second straight day Tuesday due to a wildfire burning near a ski resort in the San Bernardino National Forest.
The Summit fire did not grow overnight and remained 50% contained, the U.S. Forest Service said. All but one school remained closed because of poor air quality from smoke. Fallsvale School in Forest Falls is not affected by the smoke and will be open, the Bear Valley Unified School District said on Facebook.
The Summit fire started Sunday afternoon and has burned 100 acres in steep terrain full of drought-parched brush and standing dead trees.
