Three people are trapped 5 miles west of Mt. Baldy in Los Angeles County due to the Bridge Fire burning in the area, L.A. County Sherrif Robert Luna said Wednesday during a news conference.

The people can't access roads and will need to be airlifted out of the remote area. However, Luna said that can't happen until smoke from the wildfire clears.

Luna said the L.A. County Fire Department is trying to get a vehicle to the people in hopes of getting them out.

One of the people trapped is an off-duty L.A. County Sheriff's Department sergeant.

Luna said all three people are currently safe.
