Amid the fires, residents also are concerned about strong natural gas odors in their areas.
Joe Weaver woke up early Thursday morning to someone yelling outside his Lake Arrowhead home.
Still, on Thursday evening, the odor persists — and the Weavers said they haven’t been aided by the San Bernardino County Fire Department or SoCal Gas. Ashley Garcia said she also smelled the gas driving down Highway 173 to the grocery store during a brief excursion from her snowed-in Lake Arrowhead residence.
SoCal Gas spokesperson Brian Haas said the utility received calls from residents in the San Bernardino Mountains reporting the natural gas odor and was working to reach out to them. He added that personnel will be on the ground, but have had difficulties accessing the communities because of road conditions.
