A wind-driven wildfire alongside Interstate 5 close to the Grapevine exploded to greater than 12,000 acres by early Sunday and had charted a path south towards the city of Castaic, prompting evacuations all through the world, officers mentioned. The Submit fireplace, which originated Saturday in Gorman in northwestern Los Angeles County, was solely 2% contained Sunday afternoon as excessive winds, low humidity and steep terrain hampered firefighting efforts.
In the meantime, firefighters had been battling one other brush fireplace within the San Bernardino County neighborhood of Hesperia that broke out after 6 p.m. Saturday within the 18000 block of North Freeway 173. That fireplace has burned greater than 1,300 acres and was 20% contained.
