The L.A. Times reports:

"Multiple agencies, including federal and local ones, remain at scene. About 125 officers have been deployed for tracking and door-to-door searches. Extra patrol cars are also in the community to make sure residents 'stay as safe as possible.'"

Since the manhunt began, resorts in Big Bear have closed and some residents have been evacuated.

Authorities have stated that they are being mindful that Dorner may have set up a trap. When asked if the burned truck could have been a diversion, San Bernadino County Sheriff John McMahon answered: "Anything's possible."
