The Lake Fire erupted near Silverwood Lake in San Bernardino County, California, on June 28, 2025, rapidly spreading through dry brush and prompting multiple evacuation orders. The fire initially grew to 150 acres with potential to reach 1,000 acres, leading authorities to close Highway 138 in both directions from Summit to Old Mill and Highway 173 at Highway 138. Evacuations were ordered for areas south of Highway 138 from Highway 173 to Summit Valley Road, affecting recreational zones around Silverwood Lake. By late Saturday night, the fire expanded to approximately 478 acres with no containment, prompting continuous firefighting efforts from ground and air crews under unified command involving CAL FIRE, San Bernardino National Forest, San Bernardino County Fire, and the San Bernardino County Sheriff.

By June 29 afternoon, containment reached 10%. The blaze continued to threaten homes and wildlands, with travel on Interstate 15 potentially impacted. Emergency crews worked through Sunday to contain the fire and assess damage as the fire scorched vast areas in the Inland Empire region.
