The blaze, dubbed the Post fire, started around 2 p.m. Saturday, and quickly grew to more than 3,600 acres, threatening structures to the south and west of Interstate 5 in northwestern Los Angeles County.
A fast-moving wildfire burning along Interstate 5 near the Grapevine has grown to more than 3,600 acres, forcing evacuations from Gorman, the Hungry Valley State Vehicular Recreation Area and areas near Pyramid Lake. Interstate 5 was shut down at Quail Lake and Gorman Post Road as of Saturday evening, leaving traffic snarled — with some accidents reportedly caused by drivers who stopped to photograph the flames. The blaze, dubbed the Post fire, started around 2 p.m.
The blaze began as a brush fire south of Ralphs Ranch Road and reportedly jumped the road, burning an auto repair shop. Social media feeds captured an exodus of motor homes, trailing ATVS, from area campgrounds crowded with groups celebrating Father’s Day weekend. By Saturday evening, thick plumes of smoke wafted over the freeway. With the wildfire burning south toward Pyramid Lake, officials were reporting 0% containment Saturday evening.
