A 165 Acre Route Fire Broke Out In Castaic Amid Brutal Heat. 5 The Freeway Was Closed In Both Directions

The so-called Trail Fire was reported shortly after noon in the area of ​​the 5 Freeway at Lake Hughes Road, prompting a response from Los Angeles County and Angeles National Forest firefighters. No injuries were reported and no structures were immediately threatened. The blaze forced the closure of the northbound 5 Freeway shortly before 1 p.m., causing a traffic backup that stretched for miles. All southbound lanes were closed about 30 minutes later. Footage from AIR7 HD showed several emergency aircraft at the scene, including an air carrier making Phos-Chek drops. At least one fire crew tackled the flames on the ground after hiking up to the fire line. The cause of the fire was unknown. An extreme heat warning was in effect for the Lake Castaiki area and was not scheduled to end until 8pm on Monday. A prolonged heat wave began to raise temperatures earlier this week, marking the start of an expected week-long spell of oppressively hot conditions. The forecast has prompted calls for residents to take heatstroke precautions and conserve energy whenever possible, with state officials warning of potential strain on California’s power grid. “High pressure will remain in the area creating a prolonged period of very warm conditions with little coastal cloud,” the National Weather Service said. “Triple-digit heat is expected for many valley and mountain locations through early next week, including coastal areas during the peak on Sunday and Labor Day. This heat could break records and cause a very high risk of heat illness. » Copyright © 2022 KABC Television, LLC. All rights reserved.
