Magnitude 3.7 quake hits Big Bear Lake
LOS ANGELES | A magnitude-3.7 earthquake has rattled Southern California’s Big Bear Lake area, followed by a sharp aftershock.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the first earthquake struck at 7:55 a.m. Sunday, about seven miles north of Big Bear City.
The same area was rocked by a magnitude-2.4 aftershock 2.5 minutes later.
A San Bernardino County Sheriff’s dispatcher said there have been no reports of damage or injury.
Big Bear Lake is in the San Bernardino National Forest about 80 miles east of downtown Los Angeles.

Officials: Boardwalk fire began in shop
ATLANTIC CITY | Investigators say a fire that destroyed businesses on the famous Atlantic City boardwalk apparently started in a pizza shop.
No serious injuries were reported after the blaze broke out on the Central Pier shortly before 7 p.m. Saturday. It took nearly four hours to bring under control.
Investigators say the flames quickly spread from the pizza shop to two clothing stores and a photography shop. The fire created billows of thick smoke.
The Central Pier has been hit by other fires in its history, including one in May 2006 that caused nearly a half-million dollars in damage.
