CASTIAC, Calif.—A wildfire near Castaic on Saturday has led to the closure of a part of a major freeway in Southern California, officials told local media.
The fire, known as the Route Fire, reached 392 acres, or a little more than half a square mile, as of 6:28 p.m. and forced the shutdown of a section of Interstate 5, a Los Angeles National Forest spokesperson told KTLA-TV.
