Fueled by dry brush and grass, red-hot firebrands have ignited spot-fires more than a half-mile ahead of the main fire front, Cal Fire said.
Crews battling wildfires across California on Tuesday, including the Post fire in Los Angeles County, face another day of warm summer heat and gusty winds that will push flames into tinder-dry fuel, weather forecasters warned. “Critical fire-weather conditions are expected through today for northwest Los Angeles County and the Ventura County mountains,” the National Weather Service said in a morning forecast.
The Post fire, which started Saturday afternoon in Gorman, has burned 15,611 acres and was 24% contained, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Strong winds continue to push the fire south and plumes of unhealthy smoke along with it. The Post fire is the largest of more than a dozen wildfires that have started in California since Saturday.
