Blue Cut Fire assistance extended
SAN BERNARDINO - (INT) - County Supervisors have authorized more than $700,000 in assistance for victims of last month’s Blue Cut Fire.

The allocations come from the following sources: $500,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds to provide assistance to qualified residents impacted by the fire. The Board also authorized $110,000 to cover the cost of ‘roll-off’ bins to remove fire debris and $100,000 in miscellaneous assistance.

The recovery effort continues on multiple fronts for the hardest hit areas including debris removal.

The Blue Cut Fire erupted August 16th at the bottom of Cajon Pass and within three days had consumed 105 homes. It was California’s 20th most-devastating fire.

Residents affected by the Blue Cut Fire who need help with services and housing are urged to call 2-1-1 or 877-410-8829.

Low-interest disaster loans are available through the SBA’s Disaster Loan Outreach Center at County Fire Station #305, in Hesperia.
