New brush fire in Santa Clarita is quickly burning out of control. It looks like the fire is burning right around I-5 and Newhall Ranch in Castaic Junction. I hope that everyone stays safe and make sure to take all precautions.  I-5 is closed on both directions. 

Rustbucket,  please make sure to include a link to the source of such information in the future.

Here is a link to the LA Times that I found by doing a Google search for Santa Clarita wild fire:  http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-fire-santa-clarita-20171205-story.html

Sorry.  I forgot to add the link. I even copied the link before submitting the new thread. 

No worries.  Was the link I provided the same one you had copied or from a different source?

It actually was a different source.

The fires are pretty crazy... Heres a pic and a video from local news directly showing the thread topic.

It looks like the fire is contained somewhat but SFMM was evacuated and many homes around the area had mandatory evacuation.  With I-5 closed, people cannot go anywhere easily.
