WHILE THE FIRES DID NOT REACH THE CITY ITSELF, THEIR PROXIMITY CAUSED WIDESPREAD CONCERN AMONG RESIDENTS AND THE BROADER PUBLIC. OVER 80,000 ACRES BURNED FROM LOS ANGELES TO SAN BERNARDINO, WITH THE BRIDGE FIRE AND LINE FIRE VISIBLE FROM CLAREMONTS CITY LIMITS. ADDING TO THE DANGER, WINDSTORMS HEIGHTENED THE FIRE RISK. DURING THIS CRITICAL TIME, THE CLAREMONT COURIER STOOD AS THE ONLY LOCAL NEWS OUTLET PROVIDING DAILY UPDATES, INFORMING OVER 100,000 PEOPLE THROUGH COMPREHENSIVE STORIES, PHOTOS, AND VIDEOS. 2-REVIVING CLAREMONTS FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION: CLAREMONTS FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION WAS ON THE BRINK OF DECLINE IN 2024.
