Ridge Fire prompts freeway shutdown and evacuations near Gorman

A fast-moving Ridge Fire in Los Angeles County jumped Interstate 5 near Gorman, prompting an Evacuation Order for Zone GOR-HUNGRYVALLEY-A and Evacuation Warnings for nearby zones as the blaze grew to about 1,100 acres with 0% containment. I-5 was closed in both directions (now reopened), and officials have mobilized additional resources (25 engines, 10 hand crews) while urging motorists along the I-5 corridor between Highway 138 and the county line to stay alert.

Ridge Fire Forces Evacuations and Closures in Western Montana

A pre-evacuation notice has been issued for residents in the area of the Ridge Fire in Flathead County, Montana. The notice applies to the east side of Highway 2, north of Spotted Bear Road to West Glacier. The decision was made due to current weather predictions of low humidity and higher winds. Residents are advised to make arrangements for their homes, pets, livestock, and family, and to have an evacuation plan in place. The American Red Cross has established a shelter in Columbia Falls, and the Flathead Sheriff's Office will conduct door-to-door notifications.
