The Hawk and King fires erupted on Aug. 14 but reached 40% containment the next day, what to know about the two LA County fires.
The King Fire ignited around 70 miles northwest of Los Angeles on Thursday morning and quickly grew to nearly 500 acres.
Firefighters with air support scrambled to control a wind-driven wildfire that erupted Thursday morning in hills along Interstate 5.
By 3 a.m., the fire had exceeded 200 acres as it chewed through brush and surrounded an RV park, destroying a double wide trailer, two vehicles and two outhouses.
A fire broke out south of Gorman early Thursday morning just after 1 a.m. The fire is being described as a brush fire that has now burned 490 acres and is 5% contained, according to Cal Fire. The fire is just east of Smokey Bear Road and Vista Del Lago Road.
