The Post Fire continues to burn in the Gorman area amid a red-flag warning across much of Southern California, and a wildfire smoke advisory has been issued for the Santa Clarita area.
Firefighters have increased their containment of a large wildfire that is burning in steep, hard-to-reach areas and threatening critical infrastructure in Gorman, officials said. But hot, dry, windy weather could challenge their efforts. The Post Fire was 24% contained Tuesday morning after wind caused explosive growth over the weekend along the 5 Freeway.
The fire scorched more than 24 square miles and forced the evacuation Saturday of at least 1,200 campers, off-roaders and hikers from the Hungry Valley recreation area. The fire erupted Saturday afternoon near the 5 Freeway. Two structures burned within the evacuated recreation area. The majority of the more than 1,000 firefighters assigned to the blaze were focused on its southern edge, near popular Pyramid Lake, which was closed as a precaution on Sunday and Monday.
