Experienced Wildfire Attorneys ELLIS RICOBONO, LLP

The BRIDGE FIRE, now the largest active wildfire in California, has devastated the San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties, burning over 51,000 acres and causing significant destruction. Experienced Wildfire lawyers ELLIS RICCOBONO, LLP is here to support the victims of this catastrophic event.

The BRIDGE FIRE began on September 8, 2024, and has rapidly expanded, destroying homes, cabins, and essential infrastructure. As of September 13, 2024, the fire has burned 51,884 acres, with only 3% containment. Areas severely affected include Wrightwood, Mount Baldy, and the Mountain High Ski Resort.

Fire officials report that at least 40 homes have been destroyed, and several communities remain under evacuation orders. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but early indications suggest that failures in maintaining and operating electrical equipment could be to blame.
