The Country in Diamond Bar is being threatened by the Diamond Bar Fire. The Country’s path in the Diamond Bar Fire has been reported since 9 am PST this morning. Now at 11 AM, here is the latest.

The Diamond Bar is now believed not to be a separate fire but an expansion of the Brea Fire, or a section of the Triangle Fire.

The fire is not moving as fast as strong as yesterday because of the absence of strong wind gusts. But the existence of these spot fires flaring up is the concern. The fire is holding at the 57 freeway.

Local residents tell broadcast tv that the south side of The Country is being affected by the flank of the Brea Fire, and the north section of the Country affected by Chino Hills fire.

Reportedly residents East of Diamond Blvd are under mandatory evacuations.

The Country (Country Estates) has been completed evacuated. As reported earlier, the 57 freeway closure remains in affect between the Pomona (60) freeway and Lambert Road.
