Ahead progress of a fast-moving brush hearth in a sparsely populated space of Lancaster was stopped Thursday afternoon.
Officers responded to the King hearth at 2:39 p.m., based on Los Angeles County Hearth Division spokesperson Charisma Murillo. The hearth is not less than 349 acres.
Shortly earlier than 4 p.m., the division ordered evacuations for residents between West Avenue I and West Avenue J, in addition to these between seventieth Road West and eightieth Road West. The division mentioned about 4:30 p.m. that the hearth’s ahead progress had been stopped.
The hearth got here as a warmth wave continues to engulf Southern California and the state’s vitality operator has issued a statewide flex alert for electrical energy conservation starting Thursday night.
